The material handling portable lift category includes a device called the adjustable box stacker. This type of material handling lift is designed to transport and stack plastic containers. All clamps are coated with rubber to protect the plastic. They are one-person operated and include a driving handle, a pump pedal and a steering wheel.

The box stacker is much more ergonomic than a hand-carry operation, and the capacity for the stackers far exceeds what a person should safely carry. The stackers have a raised height of up to 48-feet and come with fork sizes up to 20-inches long and 17-inches wide.

These stackers are foot-pump activated and require no recharging, power supply or battery replacement, making them perfect for use in areas where outlets or power supplies are limited. With any hand or foot-operated device, your workers should be given a brief training session on the proper ergonomics for any material handling portable lift equipment you choose to employ. This will reduce the potential for injuries or strain caused by improper use of the material handling portable lift.
