Description
The FSR105 Semi-Electric Straddle Walkie Stacker is built for efficient indoor material handling. It features an electric hydraulic lift mechanism for raising and lowering palletised loads, combined with a compact, manually operated walk-behind chassis. With a maximum lift height of 3.5 metres and a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 600 kg, this stacker is ideal for warehouse, workshop, or light industrial environments.
Designed with adjustable straddle legs and fork width, the FSR105 can handle a wide range of pallet types – including Australian standard closed-base pallets. The battery-powered lift reduces strain on operators, while the manual push design keeps the unit affordable, low-maintenance, and well-suited to tight spaces where larger forklifts can’t reach.
Product FAQs
The FSR105 is rated for a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 600kg at its full lift height of 3.5 metres. While the maximum load capacity is technically 1000kg, the safe usable load reduces as the lift height increases, due to stability and load centre limits. The unit is designed around a 600mm load centre, making it suitable for standard palletised loads. To ensure safety, keep loads within the 600kg SWL across the full lift range.
“Semi-electric” means that the lifting is electric, but travel is manual. The FSR105 features a 1.6 kW electric hydraulic pump to raise and lower the forks, while the operator moves the unit by hand. This makes it a practical and economical alternative to a full forklift for light to moderate warehouse applications. It provides powered lifting with lower cost, simple maintenance, and no engine emissions.
The FSR105 has adjustable straddle legs and fork width, allowing it to handle a variety of pallet types, including closed-bottom Australian standard pallets. Forks adjust between approximately 590–685mm, and the straddle legs accommodate pallet widths up to roughly 48″. This allows it to work with CHEP pallets, Euro pallets, skids, and irregular loads without the need for pallet entry gaps.
Operators walk behind the unit, steering with rear-mounted handles and maneuvering on rear swivel casters. There’s no drive motor – all movement is manual. The unit offers a tight turning radius (~1.5m) for confined spaces. Forks are raised and lowered using a lever control. A foot-operated brake holds the stacker in place during loading or parking. While easy to handle with lighter loads, more force is required when operating near maximum capacity.
Key safety features of the FSR105 include:
Emergency Stop Button – Instantly cuts lift power
Foot Brake – Keeps the unit stationary when lifting or parked
Overload Relief Valve – Prevents overloading the hydraulic system
Steel Safety Screen – Protects the operator from shifting loads
These features help ensure safe operation in line with standard industrial practices.
The FSR105 is designed for flat, indoor floors such as concrete or level loading docks. It is not suitable for steep inclines, rough terrain, or outdoor use. Polyurethane wheels work best on smooth surfaces. Avoid using the stacker on ramps or uneven areas as this can compromise stability and control.
The unit is powered by a 12V 120Ah lead-acid battery and includes an onboard charger. Simply plug it into a standard 240V outlet. A full charge takes 8–12 hours and typically provides up to 2 hours of continuous lifting. The control panel includes a battery level indicator. Regular charging and avoiding deep discharges will extend battery life (typically 800–1500 cycles).
Recommended maintenance includes:
Battery – Recharge after each use, check fluid (if not sealed), clean terminals
Hydraulics – Inspect hoses, check and top up oil annually
Wheels & Brakes – Inspect tread, test brake function, grease as needed
General – Perform a daily walk-around check for visible wear or issues
Following a monthly, quarterly, and annual check routine ensures safety and long-term reliability.
Richmond offers a 1-year warranty on the FSR105, covering manufacturing defects in normal use. Consumables like batteries and wheels may carry shorter terms. Richmond provides after-sales support, including access to spare parts and technical help through our nationwide branch network.
The FSR105 is a compact, lower-cost alternative for light to medium-duty tasks:
Pros: Smaller footprint, lower cost, easier to maintain, ideal for tight indoor spaces
Cons: Lower capacity, manual travel, no tilt/sideshift, not suitable for inclines
It’s best suited for warehouses, workshops, and facilities that don’t require continuous or heavy-duty forklift operation.
