Where the straddle stacker adjusts its legs, this model adjusts its forks — from 300mm right out to 800mm — which means one machine handles Euro pallets, wide CHEP pallets and awkward non-standard loads without changing anything but the fork position.
1000kg to 3000mm, entirely manual, with tandem lift chains and a braked steer wheel. The lower ground clearance and tighter frame suit stores areas where a straddle stacker's legs would be in the way.
Key Features
- Manual lift and travel — no power supply, charging point or battery maintenance required
- Tandem lift chains — balanced lift with reduced chain wear over the life of the unit
- Pulling handle — designed to be pulled rather than pushed for better control and visibility
- Braked steer wheel with foot guards — holds position during loading and protects the operator's feet
- Adjustable fork width — accommodates Euro, UK and non-standard pallet sizes
- Variable fork width — 300-800mm adjustment covers Euro, CHEP and non-standard loads

CE Marked | 12-Month On-Site Warranty
Supplied by Warrior, part of the Handling Equipment UK range. Manufactured to CE / UKCA standards and supplied with a declaration of conformity where applicable. Lift tables are issued with a test certificate to EN 1570 on request.
Warranty
Every Warrior product is supplied with a full 12-month on-site warranty covering parts and labour at no additional cost. Cover starts from the date of delivery and repairs are carried out at your premises rather than under a return-to-base arrangement. A comprehensive UK spare parts stock is held for every model in the range, and servicing, repair and statutory inspection can be arranged through WOLFF Onsite.
Suitable Applications
Stores and stockrooms, racking replenishment, engineering workshops, and operations handling a mix of pallet sizes where a fixed-fork stacker would need constant workarounds.
How to Use
- Set the fork width to match the pallet or load.
- Approach squarely and enter with the forks fully home.
- Apply the brake before raising.
- Raise using the manual pump to the required height.
- Lower to transport height before travelling.
Warning: Never travel with the forks raised. Confirm the fork width is locked before lifting.
Safety Information
- Check the mast is clear and the chains are correctly seated before lifting.
- Never lift a load that exceeds the rated capacity or extends beyond the fork tips.
- Do not travel with the forks raised above transport height.
- Keep all personnel clear of the mast and load during raising and lowering.
- Withdraw from service immediately if a chain shows wear, stretch or damage.
- Confirm both forks are locked at the same width setting before lifting.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect the lift chains weekly for stretch, wear and correct tension, and check the mast rollers and fork carriage for free movement. Grease the mast channels periodically. Stackers used to lift loads clear of the ground should be included in your documented inspection regime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do the forks adjust?
They slide on the carriage and lock at the required width, anywhere between 300mm and 800mm. No tools are needed and it takes a few seconds.
Q: Straddle or variable fork — which do I need?
Variable fork suits mixed pallet sizes and tight areas where straddle legs would obstruct. Straddle suits a consistent pallet size where you want the legs to carry the load closer to the ground.
Q: What is the ground clearance?
20mm on the 1600mm model and 23mm on the 3000mm model, which is why these need reasonably level floors.
Q: Does it need charging?
No, both lift and travel are manual.
Q: Can it handle a non-standard load?
Yes — that is the point of the variable fork. Set the width to suit the load rather than the load having to suit the machine.
