10 Key Factors for Buying a Telescopic Stacker

#	Factor	What to Look For
1	Capacity and Lift Height	Capacity is the maximum weight the stacker can lift and stack — match it to your load requirements. Lift height determines stacking elevation — choose a height exceeding your highest shelf or rack. ZOOMRY telescopic radial stackers reach up to 20 meters with capacities up to 2,400 m³/h.
2	Type of Load	Match the stacker attachment to your material: fork attachments for pallets, drum attachments for barrels. For bulk materials like aggregates and ores, a mobile telescopic stacker with belt conveyor is the correct choice.
3	Maneuverability	For tight spaces, choose a stacker with a small turning radius. Tracked radial stackers offer superior mobility on soft ground; wheeled versions excel on firm surfaces.
4	Power Source	Electric stackers suit indoor use; diesel, gas, or propane for outdoor operations. ZOOMRY stackers offer diesel, electric, and dual-power options — choose based on site power availability and emission requirements.
5	Durability	Look for high-quality materials — heavy-duty steel frame, quality tires and wheels, and durable rollers designed to withstand continuous operation in demanding environments.
6	Safety Features	Essential safety equipment: emergency stop button, horn, reverse alarm, belt arrestors for incline stackers, and operator guard rails. Safety features prevent workplace accidents and injuries.
7	Cost	Telescopic stacker costs vary by features and specifications. Balance budget with required features — a higher initial investment in quality equipment typically yields lower total cost of ownership through reduced maintenance and longer service life.
8	Maintenance	Choose a stacker that is easy to maintain and service — readily available replacement parts and service support minimize downtime. Modular designs with quick-change components simplify routine maintenance.
9	Brand Reputation	Select a brand with a strong industry reputation for reliable, durable equipment. ZOOMRY has 20+ years of experience supplying stackers to 50+ countries with comprehensive after-sales support.
10	Warranty	A comprehensive warranty covering both parts and labor provides peace of mind and protects your investment. Verify warranty terms before purchase — including coverage duration and any exclusions.
