How much can this stacker lift?
The rated capacity is 2,200 lb. Only one model is offered in this configuration, S2-118-AA-VS, and it is rated at 2,200 lb, so there is no higher-rated variant within this series. When you compare the rating against your own loads, include the weight of the pallet, skid or container as well as the product sitting on it.
What does the 118 in the model number refer to?
It is the height figure Vestil publishes for this model, listed in the product description as "STACKER 118 IN." Beyond that, the specification data here does not break out collapsed mast height, fork length, straddle width or overall footprint. Request the full dimensional drawing before you commit the unit to a specific doorway, trailer height or racking layout.
What does "fully powered" with variable speed drive mean in practice?
It means both the lift and the travel are powered, so the operator is not pumping a hydraulic handle or pushing the loaded unit by hand. The variable speed drive controls travel speed progressively rather than in fixed steps, which helps when easing a load into a rack opening. Battery voltage and charger details are not listed in this specification data.
How many versions are there, and what does it cost?
There is one model, S2-118-AA-VS, at $13,946.87. The published price range runs from $13,946.87 to $13,946.87 because this is a single configuration rather than a family of options with different capacities or heights. That figure is the unit price only — freight, installation and any accessories are not included in the specification data.
What warranty comes with it, and where is it built?
It carries a 1-Year Limited warranty and is made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing. Those are the only coverage and origin details in the product data. The specific terms of the limited warranty, what it excludes and how claims are processed are not listed here, so ask us for the written warranty document if that detail affects your decision.
Who is this stacker a good fit for, and who should look elsewhere?
It fits operations moving palletized or containerized loads up to 2,200 lb that want powered lift and powered travel instead of a manual or semi-electric unit. Look elsewhere if your loads exceed 2,200 lb. Also plan for operator training: OSHA requires employers to train and evaluate operators of powered industrial trucks before they use them on the job.
