Why choose a Manual stacker instead of a forklift?
When purchasing a forklift the employer, warehouse operative or foreman must take into account the total cost of running the forklift. Employers often think they can buy a forklift for a couple of thousand pounds and that s it, nothing more to pay and our problem of moving that particular item of stock is solved. However, unlike most warehouse equipment, buying a forklift is not just a one off payment; there are additional costs which are not always taken into account. These costs include initially training members of staff so they are fully qualified to use the forklift, training just a handful of employees can cost in excess of ?1000 and refresher courses are normally required every 3 years for each member of staff using the forklift and this is also expensive.
Battery operated forklifts are not always supplied with a battery charger, chargers can cost hundreds of pounds and the cost of having to charge the forklift for 3 - 4 hours per day can add significantly to the company electric bill. Also, battery operated forklifts require regular maintenance as the levels of distilled water in the battery cells needs to be constantly checked and kept at a consistent level. If these checks are not carried out battery cells quickly dry out, burn out and the fork truck will fail and require an entire new battery cell, which results in an expensive bill from your local engineer.
Gas operated forklifts may not have the need of being charged everyday but a forklift in a busy warehouse will quickly go through canister after canister of gas, the cost of this quickly mounts up and within a year of purchasing the forklift, the same amount has been paid out in running the forklift with gas.
A manual stacker eliminates most, if not all of the costs of running a forklift. Also the initial pay out to purchase one is less than that of purchasing a forklift. Under current law no type of licence is required to operate a manual stacker in the workplace, if no licence is required to begin with then no refresher courses are required to be able to operate it. Already this proves a huge saving for the employer.
Also, no type of fuel or power, other than man power is required to make the stacker move. No need to purchase a charger, distilled water or canisters of gas every week, all that needs to be paid is the wage of the operative using this and any other warehouse equipment they may be using. Another huge saving for the employer.
Already the employer has saved an enormous amount of money by opting to buy a manual stacker instead of a forklift. For a piece of equipment that can fulfil most, if not all of the jobs that a forklift can do, it makes sense that for a bit of man power, an employer can save a small fortune purchasing this reliable and clever piece of warehouse equipment. http://www.easelift.com/
