Crown ST/SX Straddle Stacker
What is a straddle stacker?
A straddle stacker is an electric material handling truck designed to lift, move and store closed or perimeter-based pallets that conventional stackers cannot handle.Crown’s ST and SX models meet the needs of logistics and industrial operations seeking to optimise space and boost efficiency, with a lifting capacity from 1000 to 1350 kg and a maximum lift height of 4.25 m.
The Crown ST and SX models
Straddle Stacker ST – 1000 kg
Compact and agile, the ST stacker is built to lift up to 1000 kg in confined areas.
- Load capacity: 1000 kg
- Max lift height: 4250 mm
- Outrigger width: 865 to 1270 mm
Applications: storage on 3–4 levels, handling in dense zones
Straddle Stacker SX – 1350 kg
Powerful and manoeuvrable, the SX stacker lifts up to 1350 kg while keeping a tight turning radius.
- Load capacity: 1350 kg
- Max lift height: 4250 mm
- Outrigger width: 865 to 1270 mm
Applications: heavy loads in restricted spaces
Why choose a Crown straddle stacker?
Space optimisation and productivity
The ST/SX lets you store higher in narrow aisles, turning limited space into a truly optimised storage zone and speeding up daily operations.
Panoramic visibility for maximum safety
The low drive unit and open mast provide a clear view of the fork tips at ground level and at height. Operators can manoeuvre confidently in tight areas, reduce collision risks and gain precision when positioning loads.
Precise control and smooth handling
With its proportional lift/lower control, the ST/SX enables exact positioning up to 4.3 metres high. The Crown exclusive X10 handle improves ergonomics: comfortable grip, intuitive thumbwheel and accessible buttons make daily work easier. The advanced tiller offers two unique functions:
- Speed control zone to automatically adapt travel speed,
- Vertical travel to manoeuvre even in the tightest spaces.
These innovations ensure a smooth, continuous workflow with no interruptions.
Operator-adaptable performance
Two programmable performance levels are available:
- Beginner mode to keep manoeuvres safe,
- Advanced mode to maximise productivity.
A robust, durable design
The steel chassis, reinforced mast and heavy-duty outriggers ensure long service life, even in intensive use. The steel motor cover protects internal components, while the high-strength aluminium tiller combines light weight and durability.
Simplified service and maximum uptime
Internal components are quickly accessible, reducing downtime. The exclusive InfoPoint system guides technicians to diagnose and fix issues more easily, improving truck availability.
Fast charging, maintenance-free, long runtime.
Precise load repositioning.
Guaranteed performance at low temperatures.
Secures pallets when stacking at height.
Straddle Stacker
What is a straddle stacker?
It’s an electric handling truck designed to lift closed or perimeter pallets thanks to its arms that straddle the load.
What’s the difference between ST and SX?
The ST handles up to 1000 kg, while the SX lifts up to 1350 kg. The SX suits heavier loads and intensive applications.
How high can a Crown straddle stacker reach?
Both models can lift up to 4.25 m.
Why choose a straddle stacker over a conventional forklift?
Because it’s more compact, more economical, and purpose-built for closed pallets, with better manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
Can a straddle stacker be used in a cold store?
Yes. With the cold-store package, it maintains performance in low-temperature environments.
What are the benefits of lithium-ion batteries on these stackers?
Fast charging, no daily maintenance, opportunity charging and near-continuous availability.
