With an electric pallet stacker from Jungheinrich, you can not only move palletised goods and other goods that can be carried from underneath quickly and safely from A to B, but also lift them to great heights. Find out about the differences between the various Jungheinrich electric pallet stacker models and what you need to consider when selecting the right truck for your business in our buyer's guide.
All Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers with electric drive are equipped with a mast. With this, not only is the ground-level transport of goods possible, but also the vertical transport of wire mesh boxes, pallets and other goods up to heights of 4800mm. For this reason, these industrial trucks are also referred to as electric high-lift trucks. With them, you can handle loads ergonomically and safely – and without the use of muscle power: regardless of the model, the lifting process for Jungheinrich electric stackers is always performed automatically.
Depending on the required lifting height and rated capacity, we offer models with different mast types. Our graphic shows an example of a model with a double telescopic mast:
Unlike forklifts, Jungheinrich e-stackers do not require a counterweight for safe lifting. Their load centre is located within the fork structure, so they operate safely even when loaded. This makes them very manoeuvrable in operation and also allows them to be used in both wide and narrow warehouse aisles. All functions of Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers are controlled via the low-mounted tiller or the ergonomic control panel on the tiller head. This is why these versatile and powerful models are often referred to as Jungheinrich electric pedestrian stacker trucks.
Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers are available in different model variants in our online store. Among other things, the trucks differ in their rated capacity, lifting height and general performance. The requirements that the truck should meet are largely determined by the working and operating environment in which they will be used. By compiling a detailed requirements profile, you can quickly find a model that fits your specific operation:
In the following, we go into more detail on the questions from the requirements profile so that you can quickly find a suitable Jungheinrich e-truck for your operation.
The working environment and the intended use are important criteria when it comes to selecting the right stacker truck. The truck you choose should always match these criteria, so that it can perform as required:
The Jungheinrich electric pallet stacker trucks from our online store are suitable for use in dry indoor areas (without condensation) and occasional use in dry outdoor areas. However, for stacking and retrieving goods in demanding work environments, we offer various model variants as part of our special construction service.
On request, we can supply Jungheinrich electric pedestrian stackers made of stainless steel, for example, which are suitable for clean rooms, hygiene-sensitive areas or corrosive working environments. We also offer models with cold storage equipment on request: you can use these trucks in very cold or damp environments, e.g., in deep-freeze cold storage rooms or greenhouses.
The versatile Jungheinrich e-stacker trucks are available with two different drive variations:
Which drive variant is right for you depends on how often you use the lift function in your day-to-day operations and what lifting heights you need to achieve with the truck. If stacking tasks only occur infrequently or occasionally in the internal transport of goods, a semi-electric stacker can be a cost-effective solution. For greater lifting heights, fully electric pallet stackers from Jungheinrich are the more suitable option – especially for regular use.
Regardless of the drive type, we also carry models with proportional hydraulics: The function enables precise stroke pulse control so that even delicate loads such as glassware or sensitive electronic components can be sensitively lifted, lowered and placed on the shelf or floor.
The mast moves the load carrier and the load vertically. Depending on how high your storage racks are or at what height loads have to be stored and retrieved in your operation, select a Jungheinrich electric pallet stacker with the appropriate vertical lift capability. Other parameters are important in the selection as well. These determine where you can use the device for stacking and retrieval:
The overall height is the maximum height of the Jungheinrich electric truck, measured from the ground. It can change depending on whether the mast is extended or retracted.
This term refers to the greatest possible distance from the ground to the highest position of the load handling attachment (upper edge of the fork) in the lifted state.
This refers to the lifting height up to which the load handling attachment can move upwards without changing the overall height of the mast. The free lift function is ideal when stacking is required at low ceiling heights, e.g., in containers, enclosed rail freight cars or basements.
The dimensional data for all three parameters are listed in the technical details for each Jungheinrich battery-powered pedestrian stacker truck.
Jungheinrich electric high-lift trucks are available with four different types of masts. The operating principle is the same for all versions: the fork carriage and the load is moved vertically within the mast by a motor. On some models, the mast can be further extended two or even three times. In this way, much higher storage spaces are achieved without restricting mobility in low working areas.
Please note: To ensure sufficient stability, you should also always pay attention to the ground. Uneven or damaged floors can affect the balance when stacking and unstacking palletised goods - regardless of the mast height installed.
The weight-specific limit with which a Jungheinrich electric pallet stacker can be loaded is referred to as the load capacity or rated capacity. This must not be exceeded in order not to overload the load-bearing parts of the industrial truck and to ensure safer handling of the truck. The following applies: the heavier the Jungheinrich e-truck, the higher its load capacity (taking into account the fork dimensions and quality of the steel used as well). The load capacity diagram, which can be viewed on every Jungheinrich electric pallet stacker, also shows how the rated load capacity depends on the lift height and load centre in each case.
The residual load capacity must also always be considered: if, for example, attachments are used on the Jungheinrich electric pallet truck, the general load capacity is reduced because the load centre of gravity also changes. You can find more information on this in our guide "Carrying capacity for industrial trucks - Dimensioning loads correctly".
Basically, all Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers with electric drive are designed for transporting loaded Euro pallets. However, depending on the fork dimensions and load capacity, you can also use the industrial trucks to move storage bins, ISO containers and skeleton containers or even long goods and pallets in special sizes.
The standard fork length of Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers is 1150mm. This enables uncomplicated lifting of Euro pallets and mesh pallets without a great deal of manoeuvring. The standard size fork carriage width varies between 540 and 570mm depending on the model.
In contrast, Jungheinrich pedestrian stackers in a wide-gauge design are suitable for picking up special pallets. On request, we also offer special design variants, e.g., Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers with special fork lengths.

You can read about how the various batteries are constructed and supply industrial trucks with energy in our guide "Battery technology for electric pallet stacker trucks and industrial trucks".
All Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers have a 4-point chassis to ensure optimum stability and driving safety when stacking and retrieving loads. The chassis consists of a drive wheel, a support wheel and two or four fork rollers. The diameter of these is significantly smaller than that of counterbalanced trucks, as they are generally designed for use on level flooring. The fork rollers can be selected as single or tandem fork rollers:
These wheels are preferred for use on flat floors and allow easier manoeuvring than with tandem rollers. However, wear on these rollers is higher than with tandem rollers.
Tandem rollers are particularly suitable for uneven floors and overcoming speed bumps. The weight of the load is distributed over four rollers, which reduces the contact pressure and thus the wear per roller. As a result, Jungheinrich electric pallet stacker trucks run more smoothly and stably, especially on uneven surfaces.
While floor condition is one of the most important selection criteria for Jungheinrich electric pallet truck tyres, there are also some other parameters to consider:
When you buy a Jungheinrich electric pallet stacker, the tyres should be as suitable as possible for the respective area of application. The material properties of the rollers differ fundamentally in some cases:
For drive wheels, support wheels and load rollers
Only for drive wheels
For drive wheels, support wheels and load rollers
Only for drive wheel
For PU wheels we also offer the following special features upon request:
The Jungheinrich e-trucks in our online store are available exclusively with pedestrian operation. In this operating mode, all steering and operating functions are performed by an operator who accompanies the truck. For optimum operating safety, the industrial trucks are equipped with a long, low-set tiller. This ensures a sufficient safety distance between the vehicle frame and the operator. Swiveling the tiller moves the drive wheel in the desired direction of travel. You can conveniently operate the machine using the controls mounted on both sides of the tiller head. These are located on each model to be suitable for both right-handed and left-handed operators. Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers with pedestrian operation can handle short and medium transport distances.
On request via our contact form you can also order these operating variants from us:
Please note: As Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers with a stand-on platform reach a speed of more than 6km/h, a special forklift driver's licence is required for their operation.
In our online store, you will find an electric pallet stacker truck from the Jungheinrich brand for every application and requirement.
Our Jungheinrich stacker trucks with an additional support arm lift are ideal when you need to:
By raising the support arms, you can ensure that the Jungheinrich e-truck gains more ground clearance and that safe and stable travel is guaranteed even when driving over uneven surfaces or thresholds. Depending on the type of support arm, slopes of up to 16% can be mastered. For comparison: without an additional support arm lift, only inclines of 5% can be overcome.
Some electric pallet stackers in the Jungheinrich Performance Series are available as wide-thread versions. In addition to Euro pallets, these models can also pick up closed load carriers and UK pallets without any problems. Transverse pallet pick-up is also possible with this type of truck. This is carried out by extending the support arms at the sides and lowering the fork to the floor to lift the load unit from below.
These trucks are designed with specific support arm spacing: this limits the maximum length or width of the load being lifted in each case and should be matched to the goods being transported. If you need to transport goods in deviating sizes, wide-thread variants with other dimensions are optionally available. In models with an ISO fork carriage (e.g. the Jungheinrich EMC B10 electric pallet stackers – wide-thread version), the fork carriage can also be adjusted so that pallets in special sizes can be transported.
Our wide-thread electric pallet stackers are supplied with a standard design that allows for the transport of pallets up to approx. 900mm in width. Optionally, the distance between the support arms can be extended by further modifications up to a maximum of 1270mm.
The advantages of Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers in a wide-thread design:
Our electric two-stage mast stackers from Jungheinrich are particularly practical, as the trucks combine the performance features of Jungheinrich pallet trucks and electric stackers in one powerful device. The dual mast models are designed to move up to two pallets at a time.
This is made possible by the additional support arm, which provides a second lifting function for picking up another pallet. The support arm and mast work independently of each other. The additional arm allows goods to be picked up and transported on top of each other without putting any pressure on the goods positioned on the lower pallet.
This is how the additional lift works on Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers with two-stage mast function:
Our Jungheinrich electric pallet stackers are already available in many different variants and equipment options. On request, however, it is possible at Jungheinrich PROFISHOP to have a model equipped with additional individual functions. These include, for example, indicator displays, organiser functions or special drive wheels. Depending on the model, the following equipment is also possible as part of a special design request:
The use of Jungheinrich electric high lift trucks in warehouses, dispatch or sales areas is advantageous for many reasons:
Not necessarily. With a pedestrian electric truck from Jungheinrich, you do not need a forklift driving licence, but only company-specific instruction on all relevant safety regulations, such as possible accident risks, the function of the truck and its attachments and stability, before the truck is put into operation for the first time. However, if the Jungheinrich pedestrian stacker is a combined pedestrian/ride-on model or purely a ride-on model, a forklift licence is required, as the machine can achieve speeds of more than 6km/h.
Jungheinrich electric pedestrian stackers should only be used outdoors if the trucks are designed for this purpose. The outdoor areas should be dry, and the device should not be subject to poor weather conditions. For this reason, most Jungheinrich electric pallet stacker trucks must not be used in cold stores or freezers or for interchangeable applications with condensation, as they can be damaged by the moisture. Jungheinrich electric pallet trucks are also not suitable for environments with high dust content or for use on oily and very wet surfaces: robust electric pallet stackers with combustion engines are the better choice here.
