Product Description
An Automated Stacker is a type of material handling equipment used in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers to lift, stack, and move heavy pallets or goods without manual operation. Unlike manual or semi-electric stackers, these are typically integrated with automated control systems, sensors, and sometimes robotic technology.

Key Features:
Automated lifting & stacking: No manual control needed can be operated via control software or warehouse management systems (WMS).
Programmable routes: Some models follow preset paths or intelligent navigation.
Load capacity: Typically ranges from 500 kg to 2000 kg.
Lifting height: Can lift goods from 1.6 meters to over 5 meters, depending on the model.
Sensors & safety systems: Obstacle detection, emergency stops, and anti-collision systems.
