Hyder 2t 2.5t Reach Stacker for US Canada Pallet

The reach function allows the forks and mast to extend forward, enabling flexible pallet handling and deeper reach into racking systems or double-deep storage.

✅ Best for:

Non-standard pallets (e.g. closed pallets or pallets without bottom openings)
European closed-deck pallets, CHEP pallets, or skids on bottom racks
Double-deep racking systems
Warehouses with limited aisle width, where moving the entire truck forward isn't efficient
Mixed storage environments (block + racking)

⚙️ Functional Highlights:

Reach stroke: Allows forks to extend and retract, reducing the need to move the entire truck
Handles both open and closed pallets
Maintains operator comfort with standing-on platform and electric magnetic steering
Reduces operator fatigue and improves stacking precision
Forks extend into deeper racks without repositioning the truck
Ideal for high-value or fragile goods, minimizing bumping during placement

🧱 Traditional Standing-On Electric Pallet Stacker (No Reach Function)

Key Advantage:
Simple and cost-effective, optimized for open-bottom pallets in standard racking or floor storage.

✅ Best for:

Open-deck pallets (e.g. traditional Euro pallets with bottom gaps)
Floor-level stacking or single-depth racking
Applications with wide aisles or simple layouts
Shorter lift heights or basic transport needs

⚙️ Functional Highlights:

Lower cost of ownership
More compact, with fewer moving parts
Easy to operate and maintain
Not suitable for closed pallets or deep racking
Forks cannot reach forward—requires pallet clearance underneath for support legs
