A dual load stacker is an advanced material handling solution designed to efficiently stack, organize, and transport products, cases, or pallets. Unlike stacking loads manually with forklifts, a dual load stacker processes two loads simultaneously, significantly increasing stacking efficiency and reducing cycle times as well as reducing the wear and tear of forklifts.

HOW DUAL LOAD STACKERS WORK:

  1. Product Loading – Items are fed onto the stacker via a conveyor system or robotic palletizer.
  2. Dual-Load Processing – The system simultaneously lifts and aligns two loads for optimized stacking.
  3. Precision Stacking – Using sensors and automation technology, the stacker precisely places each load with consistent alignment and secure positioning.
  4. Discharge & Integration – Once stacked, the loads are conveyed to the next phase of the automation system, such as palletizing, wrapping, or storage.

This automated process eliminates the bottlenecks of manual stacking, reduces the potential for misalignment or damage, and ensures a seamless workflow in high-speed operations.

CHALLENGES SOLVED BY DUAL LOAD STACKERS:

1. Increased Throughput Demands - With rising consumer demand and just-in-time manufacturing, companies must find ways to increase output without expanding their footprint. Dual load stackers provide double the stacking capacity in the same cycle time as single-stack units, allowing for higher throughput and efficiency.

2. Reducing Manual Labor & Safety Risks - Manually stacking heavy loads is not only labor-intensive but also poses a risk of workplace injuries. Dual load stackers eliminate the need for manual lifting, reducing worker fatigue and improving overall plant safety.

3. Maintaining Stacking Consistency & Quality -Stack misalignment can lead to product damage, unstable pallet loads, and inefficiencies in downstream operations. Kaufman’s precision-engineered stackers utilize advanced sensors and automation controls to maintain uniform stacking, ensuring a secure and consistent load every time.

4. Space Optimization in Warehousing & Distribution -In high-density storage environments, maximizing space is crucial. A dual load stacker allows more product to be stored in a structured, stable manner, reducing footprint requirements and enhancing warehouse organization.
