The A-Series reach-fork pallet stacker features a scissor-type fork extension mechanism that enables bidirectional load movement. With forks extended, it functions as a counterbalanced stacker capable of handling non-standard pallets, enclosed pallets, and shelving systems. When retracted, it transforms into a straddle stacker for optimal maneuverability in narrow aisles. This dual-mode design combines the strengths of both stacker types in one versatile machine.
