What raised heights are available?
Three raised heights are offered: 62 in, 118 in and 150 in. The S-62-FA and S-62-AA reach 62 in, the S-118-FF and S-118-AA reach 118 in, and the S-150-AA reaches 150 in. Pick the height from your top stacking position, then check that raised height against door openings, sprinkler lines and ceiling clearance along the route the unit will travel.
What is the difference between the fixed and adjustable models?
Fixed models hold the forks at a set spread, while adjustable models let you change it. The S-62-FA and S-118-FF are the fixed versions; the S-62-AA, S-118-AA and S-150-AA are adjustable. Adjustable costs more at the same height — $12,473.75 for the S-62-AA against $11,573.77 for the S-62-FA. Choose adjustable if pallet and skid widths vary across your loads.
Why does the price range start at $279.96?
Because the range covers accessories as well as complete machines. The $279.96 entry is the S-DK removable platform, not a stacker. Complete powered lift stackers run from $11,573.77 for the S-62-FA up to $14,469.85 for the S-150-AA. Eight models are listed in total, including the battery set and the drum/roll/reel fork attachment, so read the model number before ordering.
What powers the unit, and is the battery included?
These are battery powered, with both drive and lift electric rather than manual. The listed battery option is the AGM-UPG-2-12V, a pair of 12V AGM batteries at $896.82. AGM cells are sealed, so they avoid the watering routine that flooded lead-acid batteries need. Because the battery set is priced as its own line item, confirm whether your chosen model ships with batteries or needs this set added.
What attachments are available?
Two are listed. The S-DK optional removable platform measures 46"×28"×2" and costs $279.96, giving a flat deck instead of open forks. The S-AA-DRR-FK drum, roll and reel forks cost $873.21 and suit cylindrical loads that will not sit on standard forks. Both part numbers are tied to specific stacker configurations, so confirm the attachment matches the model you are buying.
Does the operator need training?
Yes. Powered stackers of this type are powered industrial trucks, and OSHA requires employers to train and evaluate operators before they use one (29 CFR 1910.178). Both travel and lift are powered rather than hand-pumped, so training should cover the specific model bought and the site it works in — aisle widths, floor condition, ramps and the height being stacked to.
