Cat® wide Straddle Stacker Models Broaden Stacking Capabilities
Step in and save!
Cat® Lift Trucks has introduced wide straddle variants to expand application possibilities and capabilities of its stacker collection. With a wide range of specification choices and specialised options, these trucks offer class-leading adaptability to different applications. This precise matching optimises productivity, ergonomics and safety in your operation
Extra Functionality
Crucially, wide straddle stackers can lower their forks to the floor, between widely spaced support legs. This is essential when handling closed-base pallets and other load carriers without open fork spaces or pockets. You can stack goods right down to the ground, and with low-profile straddle legs there is minimal wasted space under the bottom racking beam.
An extensive assortment of duplex and triplex masts, in a broad selection of standard and custom lift heights, matches applications perfectly. You can also make full use of your vertical space, with lifts up to 7.0 metres in some cases. Similarly, you may choose standard or customised straddle widths to match pallet and load types, storage patterns and racking configurations.
Cat wide straddle stackers additionally offer alternative chassis sizes and load capacities from 1.6 to 2.0 tonnes. The stackers’ wide straddle support legs are specially designed for increased drive-in and ground clearance, and trouble-free performance on gradients. They have a low profile, with slight downward angling toward their end point, and are equipped with bogie wheels as standard. Meanwhile, the fork tips are slightly pointed and tapered. This enables easier and faster pallet entry and exit, even when the truck is turning at the same time. ‘Small gains like these, from functional improvements throughout the trucks, add up to significant time savings over repetitive handling cycles.’
And all the advantages of a Cat stacker
The range include a powerful and quiet hydraulic motor, smoothly governed by stepless, speed-regulated lifting and lowering control. This provides quick but safe and accurate positioning and movement of forks and attachments.
The platform stackers give a consistent and reassuring sense of balance, control and power. They are steered and controlled via the class-leading, patented, ergonomic emPower tiller head. Compact and rapidly manoeuvrable, they enable the highest possible stock densities and are ideal in narrow aisles. Cat sit-on stackers offer another dynamic and flexible choice. In this case the operator is comfortably seated for the longest, most intense shifts and greatest distances. There are two Cat wide straddle stand-in stacker models, at 1.6 (NSR16N2S) and 2.0 tonnes (NSR20N2S). Similarly, there are two wide straddle sit-on stackers (NSS16N2S and NSS20N2S). Wide straddle is also available on 1.6 tonne platform stackers with folding (NSV16N3S) and fixed platforms (NSF16N3SR rear entry and NSF16N3SS side entry).
