A pallet stacker is a compact, electric-powered warehouse truck designed to lift, stack, and move palletised loads at low-to-medium heights. Unlike a forklift, a pallet stacker is typically used for indoor operations in confined spaces, with load capacities generally ranging from 0.6 to 2.0 tonnes. They come in pedestrian (walkie stacker), stand-on, and sit-on configurations to suit different distances and operational intensities.

A pallet jack (or pallet truck) is designed purely for moving pallets at ground level, i.e. it lifts just enough to clear the floor. A pallet stacker can lift loads to height for stacking on racking or shelving. Linde offers both: pallet stackers for stacking applications, and pallet trucks for ground-level transport.

Linde offers a range of electric pallet stacker models with different load capacities and lift heights, from compact units for light-duty stacking through to heavier-duty trucks for multi-shift operations. Speak with our team to see the current range and find the model that fits your warehouse.

Pricing depends on the model, lift height, capacity and any optional features you need. Because every warehouse is different, we recommend requesting a quote so we can price a stacker against your actual requirements rather than a generic listing.

You can request a quote through our team, who will confirm specifications, pricing and availability based on your operation. This also gives you the chance to check that the model suits your aisle widths and load requirements before you commit.

Yes. Walkie stackers are one of the most common pieces of equipment in Australian warehouses, used for everyday pallet handling, stock replenishment and order picking in spaces where a forklift is unsuitable.

Yes, Linde offers finance solutions structured around your business's cash flow, so you can spread the cost of new equipment rather than paying the full amount upfront.

Warranty terms vary by model, so it's best to confirm the specifics with our team when you request a quote. All Linde equipment is backed by our nationwide service and support network.

Start with your load capacity, lift height and aisle width, then factor in how often the stacker will be used and whether you need single or double pallet handling. Our team can talk you through the options based on your operation.

A walkie stacker is a pedestrian-operated, battery-powered pallet stacker used to lift, transport and stack pallets in warehouses, retail stockrooms, manufacturing sites and distribution centres.

A walkie stacker is pedestrian-operated, more compact, and generally suited to lower lift heights and lighter loads than a forklift. Forklifts are ride-on machines with greater capacity, higher lift heights and the ability to work outdoors, but they need considerably more space to operate.

They're used for everyday pallet handling tasks such as stacking goods on racking, moving stock around a warehouse, replenishing shelves and supporting order picking.

Load capacity varies by model. Across the Linde range, walkie stackers handle loads from around 0.6 tonnes up to 2.0 tonnes, so lighter-duty models suit occasional stacking while heavier-duty trucks are built for larger, more frequent pallet loads. Our team can match capacity to your typical load weight.

Yes. Their compact footprint makes them a practical fit for smaller warehouses, retail stockrooms and other spaces where a forklift would struggle to manoeuvre.

Yes, this is one of their biggest advantages. Some Linde models have chassis widths as narrow as 720mm, built to work in aisles that are too tight for a counterbalance forklift, which is why walkie stackers are common in space-constrained warehouses.

A walkie stacker reduces the physical strain of manual lifting, speeds up pallet movement, and improves precision when placing loads on racking, all of which lowers the risk of workplace injury.

Some models are built for higher lift heights than others, so it depends on the specific truck. If you need to reach higher racking, our team can point you to a model with the lift height to match.

A pallet stacker is the general term for equipment designed to lift and stack palletised loads, it can be walk-behind, ride-on, or even fully powered/reach versions.

A walkie stacker is one specific type of pallet stacker where the operator walks alongside and steers it rather than riding on board, so it's a subcategory rather than a separate thing entirely.

Linde pallet stackers cover 0.6 to 2.0 tonnes. If your loads are consistently under 1.0t, the D06–D10 or L10–L12 range will suit most applications. For 1.4–2.0t loads in regular use, the L14–L20 range offers the capacity and durability for more intensive work. If you regularly exceed 2.0 tonnes, a reach truck or electric counterbalance forklift may be more appropriate. To get help in understanding exactly what you need, talk to a Linde specialist.

Yes. Linde offers cold store variants of several pallet stacker models, engineered to operate reliably at temperatures as low as -35°C. These variants maintain full battery performance and mechanical availability in freezer and refrigeration environments, making them a trusted choice for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cold chain operations.

Yes. Linde pallet stackers are available with Lithium-ION battery technology across a number of models. Li-ION batteries charge faster, last longer per cycle, require no watering or battery changes, and can be opportunity-charged during breaks without affecting battery health. This makes them particularly well suited to multi-shift operations. Learn more about Linde's energy solutions.

Yes. Linde pallet stackers are available for short and long-term hire across Australia. The hire fleet includes pedestrian and ride-on models to suit different applications, all factory-maintained to the same standard as new equipment.

Yes, this is one of their key advantages over counterbalance forklifts. Linde pallet stacker models like the L-series and D-series are designed for use in confined warehouse environments. Some models feature chassis widths as narrow as 720mm, electric power steering for tight manoeuvring, and straddle arm configurations for closed pallet handling. For very narrow aisle (VNA) storage applications at height, Linde's VNA turret trucks may be more appropriate.

Licensing requirements for pallet stackers vary by state and by whether the stacker is a pedestrian or rider-operated model. Pedestrian, also known as walkie stackers, generally don't require a forklift licence, but operators still need appropriate training and employer sign-off on competency. Ride-on (stand-on or sit-on) pallet stackers may require a forklift High Risk Work Licence in some states. Always check with your state's WorkSafe or SafeWork authority for current requirements, and consult your Linde specialist for guidance. Find your nearest Linde branch.

A straddle stacker uses extending load arms (legs) that straddle the pallet, providing stability without needing the counterbalance weight of a standard forklift. It requires the pallet to have enough clearance underneath for the arms to fit. A counterbalanced stacker (like the Linde L06–L16 AC) doesn't use load arms, it uses a counterweight at the rear to balance the load, allowing it to handle closed or flush-based pallets that straddle arms can't access.

Linde MH operates a national branch and dealer network with 24/7 service support across Australia.
