The TX is the semi-electric stacker: powered lift, manual travel. The operator pushes the truck but the forks are raised electrically, which removes the pumping that limits how many times a manual stacker can realistically be used in a shift. Seven models cover 810mm to 3410mm lift at 1000kg or 1200kg. The 12 series carries polyurethane wheels as standard to reduce rolling resistance at full load, and a start key with battery cut-off isolator acts as an emergency control, cutting power to the lift entirely.
Manufacturer Assurance
Lifter by Pramac is backed by over 40 years of material handling equipment manufacture. All Lifter by Pramac products are designed to meet 100% compliance with current standard regulations, and are subject to internal quality testing for reliability and durability.

Lifting speed 0.09 m/s laden and 0.12 m/s unladen. 12V 74Ah battery. Gel batteries are available separately (TX 10 code HZ000S0001B, TX 12 code HZ000S0000X).
Key Features
- Electric lift, manual travel — the operator pushes but never pumps, which is the difference between a stacker used a few times a day and one used all shift.
- Seven models from 810mm to 3410mm — including a low 10/09 for mezzanine and van work and a 12/35 reaching the third beam level.
- Battery isolator as emergency control — the start key and cut-off switch stop battery supply completely and prevent the forks lifting.
- Polyurethane wheels on the 12 series — lower rolling resistance so a 1200kg load is manageable to push at full capacity.
- Straddle version available — adjustable legs from 230mm to 790mm between fork arms, for stillages, closed pallets and awkward bases a standard stacker cannot enter.
- Accessible battery housing — designed for faster routine maintenance without dismantling the truck.
Suitable Applications
The TX suits general warehousing, stockrooms, production feeding and retail back-of-house where stacking is regular but travel distances are short. Because travel is manual it works best in compact areas — a machine pushed fifty metres each way all day will tire an operator regardless of powered lift. The straddle model is the answer for closed-bottom pallets, stillages and drums. Where travel distance or frequency is high, step up to the NX or LX fully electric ranges.
How to Use
- Check the load is within the residual capacity at the height you intend to lift to, not just the nominal rating.
- Confirm battery charge and that the forks and mast are clear of damage.
- Enter the pallet squarely with the forks fully lowered and drive them home.
- Raise just clear of the floor to travel; never travel with the load at height.
- Position square to the racking, check overhead clearance, then raise to the required level.
- Enter the racking, set the load down, withdraw squarely and lower fully before moving off.
- Return the truck to the charge point at the end of the shift.
Warning: Residual capacity falls with height on the taller models: the TX 12/29 carries 800kg at full elevation and the TX 12/35 only 600kg, against a 1200kg nominal rating. Operators must know the figure for the model they are on.
Safety Information
- Only trained and authorised operators should use a stacker.
- Never travel with the load raised; lower fully before moving.
- Never allow anyone to stand or pass under raised forks.
- Check overhead clearance and floor condition before lifting.
- Observe the residual capacity at height, which is lower than the nominal rating.
- Charge only in a well-ventilated area and lower the forks before charging.
Inspection and Maintenance
Check the mast channels, chains, rollers and forks before each shift, along with battery charge and the brake. Chains stretch and must be inspected and adjusted at the manufacturer's interval — a neglected chain is the most common serious fault on a stacker. Keep the mast clear of debris and wrap. Stackers are lifting equipment as well as work equipment, so they fall under LOLER as well as PUWER: keep inspection records and arrange thorough examination at the required interval.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does semi-electric mean?
The forks are raised and lowered by an electric motor, but the truck is pushed and steered by hand. Fully electric stackers such as the NX and LX also power travel.
Q: Why does capacity drop at height?
Stability. As the load rises the truck's centre of gravity moves, so the safe load reduces. The TX 12/35 carries 600kg at 3410mm against 1200kg at low level. Always work to the residual figure.
Q: What is the straddle version for?
Its legs adjust from 230mm to 790mm between the fork arms, so it can straddle closed-bottom pallets, stillages, drums and machinery that a standard stacker cannot get its forks under.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A 12V 74Ah battery covers normal daily lifting duty; travel is manual so the battery is only powering the lift. Gel batteries are available as an option for lower maintenance.
