You’ve found yourself asking this exact question, haven’t you? As a warehouse manager for longer than I’d like to admit, I’ve been there. You’re looking at a tight aisle, a stack of pallets that needs moving, and a budget that doesn’t stretch to a full electric forklift. A Manual Stacker 1ton seems like the perfect fit. But then the real question hits: "Will it actually fit where I need it to?" Knowing the load dimensions isn't just a spec; it's the difference between a smooth workflow and a very expensive, stuck doorframe.
This isn't just about numbers on a page. It's about solving a real, daily problem for people like you and me.
I learned this lesson the hard way early in my career. We ordered a new piece of equipment based solely on its lifting capacity. When it arrived, the forks were too short for our deepest pallets, and the overall width was too broad for our narrowest aisles. It became a glorified, costly trolley. That’s why when we talk about a Manual Stacker 1ton, the "1ton" tells you what it can lift, but the dimensions tell you where and how it can operate. It’s the key to unlocking efficiency and avoiding a logistical nightmare.
When we talk about "loading dimensions," we're primarily focusing on three key measurements that directly impact usability. Getting to know these terms will help you make a perfect choice.
Fork Length: This is the horizontal support that slides under the pallet. Too short, and the pallet won't be stable. Too long, and it might be cumbersome in small spaces.
Fork Width (Overall): This is the total outside width of the forks. This is your critical measurement for aisle navigation. You need ample clearance on either side to maneuver safely.
Lowered Height: This is the height of the forks when they are fully lowered. It determines how easily you can slide the forks under a loaded pallet on the floor.
While "standard" can have some variation, most quality manufacturers adhere to a common range. At HUGO, our engineers have refined these dimensions over years to create the ideal balance of stability and maneuverability for our Manual Stacker 1ton.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the specifications for our flagship model:
Feature | Specification | Why It Matters |
---|---|---|
Lifting Capacity | 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) | The core strength to handle most standard industrial loads. |
Fork Length | 1,150 mm (45.3") | Provides ample support for standard Euro and ISO pallets without being unwieldy. |
Fork Width (Overall) | 680 mm (26.8") | Narrow enough to navigate tight aisles with confidence. |
Lowered Height | 85 mm (3.35") | Easily slides under low-profile pallets directly on the floor. |
Lifted Height | 1,600 mm (63") | Lifts loads to a comfortable and safe stacking height. |
These specs aren't just numbers we invented. They are the result of solving the exact pain points I’ve encountered in the field. Our HUGO Manual Stacker 1ton is designed to be the workhorse you can rely on, precisely because it fits where you need it to.
Before you even think about placing an order, grab a tape measure. I always do. Here’s my simple checklist:
Measure the narrowest aisle you need to travel through. Ensure it’s at least 10-15 cm wider than the Manual Stacker 1ton's overall fork width.
Check the length of your pallets. Your fork length must be greater than half the pallet's length for secure lifting.
Note the clearance under your lowest pallet. Our HUGO model’s low lowered height is built for this, but it’s always best to be certain.
Taking these five minutes can save you weeks of headaches. Trust me.
If your pain points are crowded storage areas, a need for reliable equipment without complex maintenance, and a requirement for straightforward, powerful manual handling, then the answer is likely yes. A robust Manual Stacker 1ton is the backbone of efficient material handling. It gives you the power to lift significant weight without the cost or complication of electric power.
We at HUGO have built our reputation on creating equipment that works as hard as you do. We focus on precision engineering, durability, and—most importantly—designing products that fit seamlessly into your real-world working environment.
