Pallet Stackers Electric & Semi-Electric
Sumachay supplies electric and semi-electric pallet stackers engineered for vertical lifting in warehouses, distribution centres, and storage facilities across Canada. Our stackers lift palletized loads to racking height — from 51 inches (1.3 m) on the compact SS10EA up to 138 inches (3.5 m) on the SST15+ — with load capacities of 2,200 lb (1,000 kg) and 3,300 lb (1,500 kg). Full-electric models power both travel and lift, while semi-electric models power the lift and are pushed by hand at lower cost. Need help deciding? See the pallet stacker buying guide, which compares five Canadian models across lift height, capacity, and drive type.

Pallet Stacker Buying Guide
Matching Lift Height and Capacity
Choose a pallet stacker by the highest level you stack to, then confirm the capacity covers your heaviest routine pallet. Sumachay stackers lift from 51 inches (1.3 m) on the compact SS10EA, to 98 inches (2.5 m) on the SST15-C, 118 inches (3 m) on the SSE15, and up to 138 inches (3.5 m) on the SST15+ and SLCS15. Four of the five models are rated to 3,300 lb (1,500 kg); the SS10EA is rated to 2,200 lb (1,000 kg). Size by your heaviest regular load and your top racking level — paying for lift height your facility never uses adds cost without benefit. The full stacker buying guide compares every model side by side.
Electric vs Semi-Electric Stackers
Full-electric stackers power both travel and lift, so operators steer rather than push — ideal for daily and multi-shift stacking over longer distances. Semi-electric stackers power only the lift and are pushed by hand, which keeps cost down and suits occasional stacking over short distances. As a rule of thumb, operations stacking more than 15 to 20 pallets per shift, or moving loads across long facility floors, justify a full-electric model such as the SST15+ through reduced fatigue and faster cycles. For light-duty stockrooms, a semi-electric SSE15 or SS10EA covers the job at a lower price point.
Straddle vs Counterbalance Design
Straddle stackers carry the load between two support legs and need open-bottom pallets plus aisle width for the legs; most Sumachay stackers use this maneuverable, lower-cost design. Counterbalance stackers like the SLCS15 carry the load on cantilevered forks with no legs underneath, so they handle closed-bottom pallets, welded skids, and drums that straddle models cannot — at the cost of a wider turning radius (about 63 inches). Measure your narrowest aisle, lowest doorway, and pallet base before selecting a design. Sumachay stocks straddle and counterbalance stackers with parts and after-sale support in Canada.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between an electric stacker and a semi-electric stacker?
Choose a full-electric stacker if you stack more than 15 to 20 pallets per shift or move loads over long distances, and a semi-electric stacker for occasional, short-distance stacking on a tighter budget. Full-electric models like the Sumachay SST15+ power both travel and lift, so the operator steers instead of pushing. Semi-electric models like the SSE15 power only the lift and are pushed by hand, which lowers the purchase price. The crossover point is duty cycle: high daily volume favours full-electric through reduced fatigue and faster cycles.
What lift heights and capacities are available?
Sumachay pallet stackers lift from 51 inches (1.3 m) on the SS10EA up to 138 inches (3.5 m) on the SST15+ and SLCS15, with the SST15-C at 98 inches (2.5 m) and the SSE15 at 118 inches (3 m). Load capacities are 2,200 lb (1,000 kg) on the SS10EA and 3,300 lb (1,500 kg) on the SST15+, SST15-C, SLCS15, and SSE15. Match the lift height to your top racking level, then confirm the rating holds at full lift height, since stacker capacity can derate as the forks rise.
Can stackers operate in narrow aisles and on ramps?
Sumachay straddle stackers fit aisles as narrow as about 2.0 m, while the counterbalance SLCS15 needs more room for its roughly 63-inch turning radius. Stackers are built for indoor use on flat, smooth concrete — avoid slopes steeper than 3%. For any ramp use, confirm the grade and load with our team before purchase. Measure your narrowest aisle and lowest doorway against the model's lowered mast height before selecting a stacker.
What battery system do the stackers use and how long does it last?
Most Sumachay stackers use lithium-ion batteries with built-in chargers; a lithium model charges to 80% in about 90 minutes and supports six to eight hours of mixed lifting and driving on a full charge. The SST15+ and SST15-C use a 24V 100Ah lithium-ion battery, while the counterbalance SLCS15 uses a lead-acid system that needs periodic watering and a longer charge cycle. Opportunity charging during breaks extends the working day without battery swaps.
How are stackers shipped and can I pick up in Toronto?
Sumachay stackers ship crated via freight carrier to any Canadian address, and most models dispatch within 2 to 5 business days. Toronto-area customers can arrange local pickup. Freight cost depends on weight and destination — contact us for a shipping quote if one is not shown at checkout. Stackers ship from Canadian distribution centres, so replacement parts arrive domestically without customs delays.
What warranty and service support do you provide for stackers?
Standard Sumachay stackers include a 12-month warranty, and Sumachay Plus stackers include an 18-month warranty with priority support. We stock batteries, wheels, hydraulic components, and control boards in Canada, and technical support is available by phone and email for troubleshooting and maintenance guidance. Warranty service runs through Canadian support channels during Canadian business hours.
