Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WESCO from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between WESCO cable-operated and hydraulic straddle stackers?
WESCO cable-operated straddle stackers use a winch and cable mechanism to lift loads. These models are available in capacities of 350 lb, 400 lb, and 500 lb, with forks measuring 22 1/2 inches long and 4 inches wide. Hydraulic straddle stackers, such as the electric-lift and manual-push models, use a hydraulic pump to raise the forks. These units have a 1,000 lb capacity and feature adjustable invertible forks, typically 30 inches long and 3 inches wide, with a width across forks adjustable from 6 to 24 inches. Hydraulic models offer higher lifting capacities and adjustable fork widths, while cable-operated models are simpler in design.
What are the maximum lifting heights available for WESCO electric-lift straddle stackers?
WESCO electric-lift and manual-push straddle stackers are available with maximum lifting heights of 52 inches, 64 inches, and 76 inches. The specific height depends on the model. For example, SKU 1XGF4 has a 52-inch lift, SKU 1XGF5 has a 64-inch lift, and SKUs 1FC46 and 1XGF6 have a 76-inch lift. All models have a 1,000 lb capacity and hydraulic lift mechanisms. When selecting a stacker, consider the required lift height for your racking or stacking operations.
Can the forks on WESCO straddle stackers be adjusted?
Yes, WESCO electric-lift and manual-push straddle stackers feature adjustable invertible forks. The width across forks can be adjusted from 6 inches to 24 inches, allowing the stacker to handle various pallet and load sizes. The forks themselves are typically 30 inches long and 3 inches wide, though some models have 25-inch long forks. Cable-operated models have fixed forks measuring 22 1/2 inches long and 4 inches wide. Adjustability is a key feature for applications requiring flexibility in load handling.
What is the load capacity of WESCO straddle stackers?
WESCO straddle stackers are available in several load capacities. Cable-operated winch lift models come in 350 lb, 400 lb, and 500 lb capacities. Electric-lift and manual-push hydraulic models have a 1,000 lb capacity. The capacity is determined by the lifting mechanism and structural design. It is important not to exceed the rated capacity to ensure safe operation and equipment longevity. For loads above 1,000 lb, consider other material handling equipment.
