A standard stacker is made for a standard pallet. The forks go between the beds, the machine legs go under the pallet, and everything works as long as the pallet is what the manufacturer intended.
The problem starts as soon as something else appears: a pallet with a closed bottom, a crate without an opening, barrels on a stand, goods on two separate carriers or a pallet of unusual width. Then the standard stacker cannot approach.
The STAXX WSS15H solves just that. Carrying capacity is 1,500 kilograms, lifting to 2,500 mm, and the difference is in the construction: the supporting legs are spaced on the sides, and they are fairies adjustable from 200 to 800 mm.

Difference between standard and straddle stacker
With a standard stacker, the supporting legs of the machine go under the pallet. That’s why the pallet has to have an opening where the legs fit, and that’s why the machine can’t take anything that rests on the floor with its full surface.
In the spread-legged stacker, the legs go on the side, next to the load, and the pitchforks descend between them. The load can be anything — a crate, barrels on a stand, a pallet with a closed bottom, a piece of machinery — as long as it fits between the legs.
In addition, this type of construction is more stable from the side, because the support of the machine is wider.
Adjustable forks from 200 to 800 mm
The distance between the villas is adjusted in the range from 200 to 800 millimeters. This is the biggest practical advantage of this machine and it is worth understanding through examples:
- 200–300 mm — narrow clearance for small crates, boxes on pedestals, machine parts and barrels
- about 550–600 mm — standard spacing for euro-pallet from the front
- 700–800 mm — wide loads, industrial pallets, crates and crates of greater width
Practical: one machine covers what would otherwise take two, or the pallet would be reloaded before it was lifted.
When this is the only machine running
Situations where a standard stacker simply cannot approach:
- pallets with a closed bottom or a solid bottom plate
- plastic pallets without openings for machine legs
- crates, crates and containers standing directly on the floor
- barrels on a stand and goods on two separate carriers
- non-standard dimensions that vary from supplier to supplier
- goods that can be reached from several sides, depending on the position
If in your warehouse at least twice a week it happens that the machine cannot take the load, this is the reason why this category is purchased.
What is paid for that advantage
Honestly: legs apart mean wider machine. If your aisles are on the limit, that width can be a problem — so measure the narrowest aisle and turning space before ordering.
Another item is that the legs take up space next to the load, so you can’t approach the rack with the goods placed right next to it. This is a detail that is best checked on site, not from a catalog.
If all your loads are standard Euro pallets and the aisles are narrow, it is a cheaper and more practical solution STAXX WS15H with a width across the pitches of 560 mm and a lift of up to four meters.
Proportional lifting and three lowering speeds
Proportional lifting means that the speed of raising follows how long the key is pressed. With non-standard loads, which are often not perfectly centered, it’s the difference between a quiet adjustment and a sudden jolt that moves the load.
Three descent speeds they do the same in reverse — the load descends quickly while in the air, and slowly in the last part of the stroke. With crates and barrels, it’s directly less damage.
Who is it intended for?
WSS15H makes sense when:
- loads are not always standard pallets
- it rises up to 2.5 meters — two to three pallet positions
- the load is up to 1,500 kg
- space allows for a slightly wider machine
- the floor is flat and indoors
Typical users: production with own packaging, chemical industry and barrels, plants receiving goods from several suppliers with different pallets, workshops and assembly.
If the goods are only transported on a flat surface, it is sufficient electro pallet truck. For greater heights and load capacities, the category is electric forklift. We have explained the difference between the categories in the guide pallet truck, stacker or forklift.
