DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The VL800 is a semi-electric self-loading stacker designed for loading and unloading operations in transport vehicles without a tail lift or ramp. The operating principle combines electric lifting of a palletised load with the self-boarding of the stacker into the vehicle via a sliding rail system.

This design addresses professional mobile applications requiring autonomy, compact dimensions and consistent operating cycles.

Within the STOCKMAN range, the VL800 is positioned as a professional handling solution for delivery rounds, local logistics and technical interventions, offering straightforward operation via a simple lift/lower control.

Operating context amd work environments for the VL800 semi-electric self-loading stacker

The VL800 is suited to environments where dock height does not match vehicle floor level, or where access to a tail lift is not available. Typical applications include parcel depots, shared loading bays, maintenance depots, distribution platforms and sites with restricted access.

Within internal logistics flows, this stacker ensures continuity of pallet transfers between preparation areas and light commercial vehicles. It reduces handling breaks, secures pallet handling operations and simplifies workflows when operations are carried out by a single operator.

Advantages of the VL800 self-loading stacker

The VL800 is designed for mobile handling scenarios where dock time and physical effort directly impact productivity and risk prevention.
Autonomous loading without a tail lift The stacker boards the vehicle together with the load, reducing dependency on additional equipment and fixed infrastructure.
Electric lifting and lowering The standard lift height reaches 800 mm, with a lifting speed of 80 mm/s under load, ensuring controlled and repeatable handling cycles.
Single-operator use Two-button control manages lifting and lowering, with pedestrian operation and manual travel.
Stability during boarding Guide rollers and stabilisers structure the boarding phase and improve trajectory control when entering the vehicle.
Compact manoeuvrability A turning radius of 1,120 mm supports operation in confined spaces and inside light commercial vehicles.
Integrated charger Daily operation is simplified thanks to an onboard charging solution.

Technical characteristics of the VL800 self-loading stacker
Structure / platform / chassis / load
Nominal capacity is 0.5 t with a 600 mm load centre, consistent with pallet and packaged load handling. Total weight is 170 kg including batteries, supporting stability during lifting and boarding while maintaining a mobility-oriented format. Minimum fork height is 90 mm, facilitating pallet entry under standard floor conditions.
Speed and movement
Travel is manual, suited to short-distance transfers at loading bays and positioning inside vehicles. Electric lifting provides stable performance: 80 mm/s with load and 110 mm/s without load. Lowering speed remains controlled at 80 mm/s with or without load, contributing to repeatable cycles and safer handling.
Manoeuvrability and dimensions
Overall dimensions support vehicle integration: overall length 1,565 mm, width 790 mm, wheelbase 860 mm. Mast height is 1,120 mm lowered and 1,900 mm raised, guiding equipment selection according to available clearance and vehicle configuration. The 1,120 mm turning radius facilitates positioning at the vehicle threshold.
Wheels and rolling system
The VL800 is fitted with nylon / polyurethane (PU) wheels, suitable for warehouse floors and dock areas. Wheel dimensions (drive Ø30×26, front Ø70×60, stabilisers Ø40×26) support rolling stability. Track widths (b10 535 mm for rails, b11 670 mm at the rear) and the multi-wheel layout maintain alignment during self-boarding.
Power, motorisation and autonomy
Lifting is powered by an electric lift motor rated at 0.8 kW, supplied by a 12 V / 33 Ah battery weighing 10 kg. This configuration suits daily use with repeated lift cycles, with simplified recharging via the integrated charger. The declared noise level < 70 dB(A) improves operator comfort in logistics environments.

Ergonomics, MSD prevention and safety

The VL800 is designed to reduce physical strain during handling at vehicle thresholds. Electric lifting and lowering limit pulling and pushing forces associated with manual lifting. The self-loading function reduces peripheral handling operations and improvised dock procedures.

Stability during boarding relies on guide rollers and stabilisers, following a structured sequence: fork lowering, stabiliser deployment, stacker lifting, stabiliser retraction. This process improves control during the most critical operating phase.

Productivity and operational benefits

In mobile operations, loading time directly affects delivery punctuality and route efficiency. The VL800 reduces reliance on tail lifts, ramps or dock equipment.

Single-operator use minimises downtime and delays linked to the availability of additional personnel. Compact dimensions combined with a reduced turning radius speed up repositioning near the vehicle.

Lifting and lowering speeds remain consistent, supporting organised material flows and limiting interruptions at preparation stations.

The VL800 is a semi-electric self-loading stacker designed for mobile handling, offering a 500 kg capacity and 800 mm electric lift. It enables autonomous loading into light commercial vehicles without tail lifts or ramps, using guide rollers and dedicated stabilisation.

Its compact dimensions and 1,120 mm turning radius make it suitable for restricted spaces. The design addresses safety, effort reduction and continuity of operation in loading and unloading workflows.

Typical applications for the VL800 self-loading stacker
Pallet loading into vans during delivery rounds
Customer-site unloading where dock infrastructure is unavailable
Internal supply between preparation areas and vehicles
Maintenance interventions with palletised consumables
Urban logistics with restricted access and limited stopping time
