3 reasons to consider switching from walkie to rider pallet stacker

You’re thinking: a rider pallet stacker will go faster, so how can it be safer than a pedestrian stacker? Walkie

pallet stackers like the BT Staxio W-series only go as fast as the operator goes but operators can sometimes

be exposed to their surroundings.

The Toyota BT Staxio P-series with platform and the stand-in S-series come with a lot of features and functions

to protect the driver.  Firstly, the operators stand higher and have a better overall visibility.

Depending on your or your driver’s preference, you can also configure the stacker for more protection:  Foldable

gates to support the driver while standing on the platform ，Fixed side guards or back protection on the platform

trucks to protect the driver ，Protective operator compartment wrapped around the operator on the stand-in

pallet stacker range .

Walking and operating a pedestrian pallet stacker requires some effort. A stand-in version will reduce the

driver’s fatigue, especially when longer distances are covered with the machine.  Rider stackers also provide

enhanced ergonomics, especially the stand-in BT Staxio S-series with its comfortable armrest, backrest and

easy-to-reach controls.

An operator who feels safe and has the best ergonomic working conditions available on a stacker will be a lot

more productive. Convinced to step up and go for a platform or stand-in stacker? Reach out to our advisors to
