Reliable Lift Trucks for Every Industrial Need

Ideal for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics operations, our custom and special lift trucks combine durability, safety, and flexibility to optimize your materials handling processes.

Product Applications

Handling Non-Standard Pallets: Stacker trucks can be custom-built with wider straddle legs, counterbalanced designs, or different fork widths to safely manage non-standard pallets or load carriers that do not fit standard Euro/UK pallet dimensions.
Environment-Specific Operations:
- Cold Storage: Modified versions with specific cold store oil and heated batteries can operate effectively in temperatures as low as -30°C.
- Wet/Corrosive Areas: Stainless steel and galvanized models are hose-washable (IP rated) and used where standard mild steel would corrode.
Specialized Lifting/Tilting: Custom attachments like drum rotators, roll handling clamps, or panel lifters can be added to the stacker chassis to perform complex handling and positioning tasks beyond simple pallet lifting

Industries

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries: This industry frequently requires custom solutions. Applications include handling corrosive, hazardous, or high-value materials. Special stackers are built in stainless steel or galvanized finishes for aggressive applications and are often specified as ATEX-compliant (explosion-proof) to operate safely in volatile atmospheres.
Food and Beverage Production: Custom stackers, typically made of stainless steel, are used in hygienic environments, cold storage, or areas requiring frequent wash-downs. They handle unique pallet sizes or containers of ingredients while meeting strict sanitation standards.
Manufacturing (Specialized): Used where production processes involve non-standard load carriers, unique jigs, or components that require specific handling. Examples include:
- Handling oversized or unusually shaped goods: Forks can be custom-made for length or width, or specific attachments (e.g., clamps for reels, rotators for drums) can be added to the mast.
- High-precision tasks: Some custom stackers are integrated into assembly lines or used as ergonomic workstations with features like automatic height adjustment, ensuring loads are always at the optimal height for picking or production.
Logistics and Warehousing (Specialized): Used for specific tasks that standard models cannot perform, such as handling unique pallet sizes (e.g., US pallets versus Euro pallets) or managing loads in exceptionally tight spaces with custom chassis dimensions.
