What are the applications of electric stacker trucks in the retail industry
source：www.zhihangmama.cn | Release time：2025-07-02
Electric stacker trucks, as important equipment in retail warehousing and logistics, play a crucial role in scenarios such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and e-commerce warehouses due to their high efficiency, flexibility, and low noise. The following provides a detailed analysis from the aspects of application scenarios, functional advantages, and typical cases:
1、 Storage operations in supermarkets and convenience stores
1. Stacking of goods in the back-end warehouse
Application scenario: In the backyard warehouse of supermarkets, electric stacker trucks are used to stack whole boxes of goods (such as beverages and daily necessities) onto shelves 2-4 meters high, improving storage space utilization (3-5 times more efficient than manual stacking).
characteristic:
Narrow body design (width ≤ 1.2 meters), suitable for narrow passages in the back of supermarkets (passage width must be ≥ 2.5 meters);
Equipped with a hydraulic lifting system (lifting height of 2-5 meters), it can directly stack goods from pallets to high-rise shelves, reducing manual handling.
Typical case: Wal Mart, RT Mart and other chain supermarkets use electric stacker trucks to manage bulk commodities such as drinks, grain and oil, with a daily handling capacity of more than 500 trays.
2. Replenishment and tally operations
Dynamic replenishment scenario: When there is a shortage of goods on the shelf, the stacker truck takes out the entire box of goods from the back yard and directly unpacks and replenishes the goods next to the shelf, avoiding the inefficient mode of traditional "manual handling+stair bench climbing".
Efficiency improvement: After a chain convenience store used electric stacker trucks, the daily replenishment time for a single store was reduced from 4 hours to 1.5 hours, and labor costs were reduced by 40%.
2、 Logistics Center for E-commerce and New Retail
1. Order sorting and temporary storage area operations
E-commerce warehouse application: In regional warehouses of e-commerce platforms such as JD.com and Taobao, electric stacker trucks are used for:
Temporarily store a large number of packages (such as Double 11 orders) from the sorting line to high-level shelves during the big promotion period;
Handling heavy cargo orders (such as household appliances and bottled water) to avoid work-related injuries caused by manual handling (stacker trucks can carry up to 2 tons).
Technological upgrade: Some e-commerce platforms use AGV electric stacker trucks (automatic guided vehicles), which are dispatched through the WMS system to achieve full process automation of "order instructions, automatic pickup, and transportation to the packaging station".
2. High frequency handling of the front warehouse
Community pre warehouse scenario: Fresh products (such as vegetables and meat) are unloaded from cold chain trucks multiple times a day and quickly stacked onto refrigerated shelves using stacking trucks to ensure timely delivery from the production area to the shelves (e.g. 3-5 restocking per day, stacking efficiency affects product freshness).
3、 Logistics support for department stores and shopping centers
1. Rapid allocation of promotional materials
Festival promotion preparation: Before the big shopping mall promotion, electric stacker trucks transport promotional gifts, billboards, display racks and other materials from underground warehouses to counters on each floor. Compared with manual trailers, transportation efficiency is improved by 60% (such as transporting 100 promotional gift boxes at a time, which takes 15 minutes).
2. Delivery of large items
Product handling: In the backyards of LV, Gucci and other counters, silent electric stacker trucks (noise ≤ 55 decibels) are used to transport bags, clothing shelves, etc., to avoid noise affecting the shopping experience and ensure the safe handling of valuable goods (equipped with anti-collision buffer devices).
4、 Fresh Retail and Cold Chain Scenarios
1. Low temperature operations in cold storage
Cold chain adaptation design:
Low temperature electric stacker truck (temperature resistant -25 ℃~0 ℃), with low-temperature resistant lithium batteries, used for transporting frozen foods (such as frozen meat and ice cream) in fresh cold storage;
The body material is resistant to freezing and cracking (such as stainless steel frame+low temperature resistant plastic parts), avoiding the failure of ordinary car models in cold storage due to material brittleness.
Application case: Hema Fresh Cold Chain Warehouse uses low-temperature stacker trucks to process over 2000 boxes of frozen goods per day, ensuring that the process from unloading to shelving is completed within 30 minutes.
2. Handling of fruits and vegetables sorting center
Lightweight and efficient operation: For fruit and vegetable light goods (single box ≤ 20kg), a lightweight electric stacker truck (self weight ≤ 500kg) is used, equipped with telescopic forks, which can directly pick up goods from the transport basket and stack them on the sorting rack, reducing manual bending and handling (reducing labor intensity by 50%).
