Rider stacker helps manage variable demand

Commonly used for stacking goods to 1.6 tonnes in single and multiple shift applications, and back-of-store warehouse operations, Hyster’s Rider Stacker trucks are designed for working in small spaces. Available with 2- or 3-stage masts and offering a lift height of more than 6 metres, the truck can work in aisle widths as small as 2.5 metres.

The Hyster’s Rider Stacker truck also meets the needs of mixed applications, such as warehouse picking. The new Hyster’s RS1.6 model can function as a medium-distance platform stacker and a long-distance rider stacker. This means that operations carrying out varied applications may no longer need to choose between two types of machine for different tasks.

To further ensure that businesses can specify the right truck for the particular needs of their industry or application, a number of bespoke options are available for the Hyster RS1.6, including key pad access, support for telematics display and attachments for holding clipboards, drinks, and more. 

A cold store version is available to help food and drink manufacturing or wholesale applications, while a busy retail warehouse with high racking, or an operation handling heavy loads at height, can consider a choice of overhead guard protection add-ons.
