Controlled Lifting and Stability in Confined Spaces

 

TCMC Pedestrian Straddle Stackers

The TCMC STW12T-B – STW18T-B straddle stacker range is built for environments where space is limited but lifting demands remain consistent—such as warehouses, retail backrooms, and light industrial stores. The straddle design allows the machine to stabilise loads during high lifting by distributing weight across the outriggers, which is especially useful when working with varied pallet sizes. 

An AC drive system delivers controlled power through precise electronic management, giving you smooth travel and accurate positioning during stacking. Combined with a high-strength mast structure, the machine maintains rigidity under load, helping you handle daily pallet movements with confidence and consistency.

Productivity and Safety in Daily Operation

  • The AC drive system provides strong, controlled power, allowing smooth acceleration and accurate positioning, which improves handling efficiency in tight aisles. 
  • A safety-focused hydraulic system prevents sudden mast drop if a hose fails, while multiple lifting limit protections and automatic speed reduction at height maintain stability during elevated handling. 
  • Anti-rollback braking, an emergency reverse belly button, and an emergency disconnector work together to control movement on ramps, protect the operator in close-contact situations, and cut power if the truck goes out of control. 

Operator Control, Serviceability and Long-Term Use

Operator control is improved through an ergonomic tiller head where all functions are within easy reach, reducing fatigue during repetitive tasks. A long tiller arm reduces steering effort while maintaining a safe operating distance. 

The creep speed function automatically lowers travel speed when operating in near-vertical tiller positions, allowing precise movement in confined areas. For maintenance, the AC traction motor removes routine servicing requirements, while easy-access panels and a vertical motor layout simplify inspections. 

A built-in hour meter and battery indicator support planned charging, and low-voltage cut-off protects battery life during extended shifts.
