Pallet Stacker and Pallet Destacker

In the world of logistics automation, efficient pallet handling is essential for streamlining operations and maximising productivity. Pallet stackers and de-stackers play a crucial role in these processes by automating the movement, stacking, and de-stacking of pallets. Here's an overview of their functionalities and associated systems commonly used at LAC Logistics Automation.

What are Pallet Destackers?


These systems perform the reverse function of stackers by separating stacked pallets and dispensing them one at a time. They are particularly useful in automation lines where individual pallet handling is required, such as loading onto conveyor systems or feeding into automated processes.

What are Pallet Stackers?


These systems are designed to lift and stack pallets vertically, allowing for efficient use of warehouse space. Stackers come in various types, including manual, semi-electric, and fully electric versions. They are available in configurations such as platform stackers, straddle stackers, double pallet stackers, and electric pedestrian stackers, catering to different lifting heights, load capacities, and space constraints. They are ideal for handling heavy loads, operating in narrow aisles, and lifting to maximum heights in warehouses and distribution centers.

Speed up the palletising process

L-A-C Conveyors & Automation produce a range of pallet magazines that can both stack and destack a wide range of pallet sizes to speed up the palletising process. The magazines can be used across multiple industries from food and beverage through to major industrial applications. Pallet destackers help to increase productivity and improve safety with capacities to suit your requirements and can be adjusted for automatic or manual stacking and destacking.

 

The magazines can be configured to drive pallets out in various ways, including rod-less cylinders powered by pneumatics for situations where there is restricted space.

Pallet magazines can be used for stacking and destacking pallets in a multiple number of ways including:


Direct from the floor
Direct from a conveyor or conveyor system
From a pallet truck
From a forklift truck

Pallet de-stackers can be used in conjunction with robotic systems.

In the food industry where hygiene is paramount our range of stainless steel pallet de-stackers are capable of full washdown. This makes them ideal for running within the food production process.

Benefits of using a pallet destacker include:


Eliminate manual handling of pallets
Reduce the potential for injury
Increase productivity
Stack or de-stack pallets
Optimised pallet flow
Improved working environment
Reduction of pallet damage through mishandling
Increase the pallet life cycle
Standalone unit
Integrated into a conveyor system

Pallet Stackers and Pallet Dispensers play a vital role in optimising pallet handling and enhancing productivity. Pallet Stackers, including Electric Pallet Stackers and double stackers, are designed to lift and stack pallets vertically, allowing for efficient use of space in warehouses and distribution centers. With options to handle a wide variety of pallet types, including ½ Pallets and pallet blocks, these machines can reach maximum lifting heights and are an ideal solution for operations with heavy loads or narrow aisles. Powered Stackers offer the flexibility needed for different lift heights and capacities, making them suitable for a range of applications.

 

Pallet De-Stackers, on the other hand, separate pallet stacks and dispense single pallets, ideal for automation lines requiring individual pallet handling. These systems can be integrated into pallet handling systems like pallet roller conveyors and pallet handling lines, improving workflow and reducing the need for manual handling. Pallet de-stackers are capable of managing ½ Pallets, providing safe pallet handling and extending the pallet life cycle by reducing mishandling.

 

Both stackers and de-stackers are equipped with essential safety features, ensuring smooth and secure operation. These systems are compatible with various pallet conveyors and can be configured for specific needs, enhancing safety, productivity, and pallet flow across industries.
