1. Product Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of a Simpro Microstacker
electro-hydraulic pedestrian bin stacker.
With 150kg capacity and 1400mm lift height, Microstacker
features interchangeable lifting arms to suit a range of
common industrial bins and containers
– allowing them
to be lifted, stored, stacked, transported, and loaded
onto trucks
– quickly and safely.
Microstacker has a tiny footprint and is easy to manoeuvre,
but is also very rugged and built to withstand years of rough handling. Like
all Simpro products, it requires little maintenance and is exceptionally reliable.
1.1 Key features
Key features of the Microstacker include:
1. A very compact footprint, allowing bins to be placed close
together.
2. A lightweight design which is easy to move and steer, with
a 3-point
‘ stability triangle ’.
3. A standard weight capacity of 150kg
4. A reliable, low-maintenance design.
5. A frame and lifting carriage manufactured
from either powder-coated mild steel or SAE304
stainless-steel.
6. IP54 ingress protection, suitable for outdoors use.
7. A modular lifting carriage which can be exchanged or modified to suit a wide range
of bins and containers.
1.2 Construction
The Microstacker consists of a steel or stainless-steel frame with a central mast and two
stabilizing legs; a lifting carriage with various lifting attachments; a hydraulic ram, a 12VDC or
24VDC GEL or Lithium-ion battery, a hydraulic powerpack with an electric motor, pump and
reservoir, a manual tiller with operating switches; electronic control circuits; two large steered
wheels and two roller wheels.
1.3 Mechanism
When both RAISE buttons are pressed, an electrically-operated pump forces hydraulic fluid
into the ram, causing it to extend. This movement is transmitted through a chain to the lifting
carriage, which travels vertically in the mast.
