Innovations

The electric pedestrian stacker EMD 115i is a universally deployable stacker truck with support arm lift, which thanks to its very short chassis length of only 558 mm is considered the world’s shortest universal stacker. It masters numerous stacking operations up to a height of 1,520 mm and short transport routes with loads of up to 1,500 kg, especially in confined spaces such as retail stores as we as for weight-sensitive applications when loading and unloading cargo trucks.
In addition, the EMD 115i is fitted with the innovative and highly efficient lithium-ion technology to increase availability as well as operating periods, while keeping charging times to a minimum. The 40-Ah battery case ensures operation times of up to 2.5 hours and allows for boost and interim charging. In effect, the battery is 50 percent charged with a 30-minute interim charge and fully charged after only 80 minutes. Thanks to the on-board charger, easy charging at any conventional 230-V power is possible at any time.
Another unique selling point of the EMD 115i is its novel transparent mast casing and the rounded battery hood. Both of these ensure optimum visibility of the transported load. The operator has everything in plain view, so that operational interferences or accidents with persons as well as damages to the vehicle or warehouse fittings can be prevented.

Market relevance

Customer benefit is the forefront of the new product development. In the case of the EMD 115i, the aim was to provide the customer with an compact and high-performance, but equally productive and easy-to-handle stacker. As the shortest universal stacker in the market, the EMD 115i fulfills the requirements of customers, who want to manage numerous and flexible applications with only one truck. As such, it was to be just as productive and maneuverable in efficient double-decker operation for transporting two Euro pallets stacked on top of each other or as a high-lift truck for lightweight stacking and order picking as in low-lift operations for short trips with loads of up to 1,500 kg.
For this reason – and also by using lightweight, compact and energy-saving lithium-ion batteries – the chassis length (L2 measurement) was successfully reduced to only 558 mm to enhance maneuverability in confined spaces.
Additionally, compared to conventional lead-acid batteries, the lithium-ion technology allows for time and cost savings due to redundant battery changes, very low maintenance and a long service life.

Customer benefits

• Very short chassis length (L2 measurement) of only 558 mm and compact design for high maneuverability in narrow retail stores and warehouse areas as well as on cargo trucks.
• Low weight of only 510 kg for weight-sensitive operations on cargo trucks, in elevators or on mezzanines.
• Transparent mast casing for optimum visibility ahead and of the surroundings.
• Compact, maintenance-free 40-Ah lithium-ion battery with boost and interim charging (30 min – 50% // 80 min – 100%) for maximum availability and longevity of the battery.
• Neither battery changes nor storage of replacement battery necessary thanks to on-board charger for easy and fast charging at any 230-V power outlet.
• Operational flexibility thanks to support arm lift and enhanced ground clearance as well as good traction due to 5-wheel chassis for use on loading ramps and uneven ground.
• Optimum drive performance thanks to permanently linked ProTracLink caster wheels.
• Operation in noise-sensitive areas or time periods thanks to optional package silentDRIVE for reduced noise emissions during travel.
