APS-10/15/18/20 AC Advanced Powered Pallet Stacker — 1.0 to 2.0 Ton

Product Description

The Noveltek APS-10/15/18/20 AC is the standard workhorse of the powered pallet stacker range — the machine that handles day-to-day warehouse stacking operations from 1 to 2 tons with AC motor efficiency and reliability.

Four load capacity options cover the range from light warehouse work (APS-10 at 1 ton) through medium-heavy racking loads (APS-20 at 2 tons). The AC motor platform delivers the 30%-plus energy savings and brush-free reliability that distinguish it from the DC systems still common in the market at this capacity range.

The outrigger leg design provides a stable lifting base — the legs extend under the pallet for stability during the lift cycle, then retract (or remain stationary, depending on configuration) during travel. This design is appropriate for the majority of standard warehouse pallet types.

For operations running the APS on multiple shifts or at high cycle frequencies, the AC motor's energy savings become a significant annual operating cost differential. The elimination of brush replacement also reduces the scheduled maintenance burden — one fewer routine service item across the fleet.

Lithium-ion battery options are available for multi-shift operations where opportunity charging between shifts is preferable to battery swap logistics. 100% Made in Taiwan. ISO 9001 certified. CE certified.

Key Features

• AC Motor Drive: 30%+ energy savings vs. DC; brushless design eliminates carbon brush replacement; consistent performance across operating temperatures

• Four Capacity Options: APS-10 (1T), APS-15 (1.5T), APS-18 (1.8T), APS-20 (2T) — matches common racking load requirements without over-specifying

• Outrigger Stability: Outrigger leg design provides stable base during lifting, compatible with standard and wide-leg pallet configurations

• Smooth AC Inverter Control: Stepless speed and lift control; regenerative braking recovers energy on lower

• Ergonomic Handle Design: Variable-speed thumb control for drive and lift; designed for sustained multi-hour operation

• Long-Duration Battery: Industrial traction battery; lithium-ion option available for multi-shift operations

• Made in Taiwan: ISO 9001 certified (2005). CE certified (2009). OEM/ODM available.

Applications

• General warehouse single-deep and double-deep racking operations

• Distribution center pallet stacking and retrieval

• Manufacturing facilities with standard pallet-to-rack operations

• Cold storage (AC motor performance advantage at low temperatures)

• Multi-shift operations benefiting from AC energy savings and reduced maintenance

FAQs

Q1: Is the APS-10/15/18/20 AC suitable for cold storage environments?

A1: Yes. Electric walkie stackers, including the APS AC series, are well suited to cold storage. Zero exhaust emissions means no combustion heat introduced into temperature-controlled environments. AC motor systems generally maintain more consistent performance at sub-zero temperatures than DC systems. Battery performance at very low temperatures should be discussed with Noveltek — the appropriate battery chemistry (lead-acid vs. lithium-ion) depends on your specific temperature range and operating cycle.

Q2: How does the APS series differ from the ACS counterbalanced walkie stacker?

A2: The primary difference is the stability design: the APS uses outrigger legs that extend under or around the pallet for lift stability, while the ACS uses a counterbalanced design without outrigger legs. The APS is available in a wider capacity range (up to 2 tons) and is the standard outrigger stacker; the ACS adds EPS power steering and uses a counterbalanced design that provides better maneuverability in tight spaces. Choose APS for standard stacking applications; choose ACS for operations where counterbalance maneuverability and EPS ergonomics are priorities.
