Who uses the EHS 1000 - 1.6 and for what
The Bernardo EHS 1000 - 1.6 is an electric stacker (pallet truck with tiller control) sized for handling and storing pallets on multiple racking systems. Key features: 1,000 kg capacity, maximum lifting height 1,600 mm. The number in the name (e.g., EHS 1 - 1.6) summarizes the 2 key characteristics: capacity and max height. Max height 1,600 mm: sized for low racking (1 level), loading ramps, high workbenches. For multi-level storage, consider models with 2,500/3,000/3,500 mm. The 1.5 kW lifting motor powered by a 12V battery provides a lifting speed with load of 90 mm/s (approximately 18 seconds to reach maximum height at full load). The turning radius of 1,280 mm allows maneuverability in standard warehouse aisles (minimum aisle width 2.2-2.5 m recommended). In Krollit customer workshops, the EHS 1000 - 1.6 is chosen by logistics warehouses, palletized material storage facilities, plants with multi-level racking, and distribution centers.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The Bernardo EHS electric stacker range is organized into 7 models classified by capacity and lifting height: EHS 1000 (1,000 kg capacity) available in 3 heights (1.6 / 2.5 / 3.0 m), EHS 1500 (1,500 kg capacity) available in 4 heights (1.6 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 m). All models share the 1.5 kW motor, 12V battery, 1,140 mm fork length, 1,160 mm wheelbase, and 1,280 mm turning radius.
The EHS 1000 - 1.6 model has a 1,000 kg capacity and a maximum height of 1,600 mm. Machine weight with battery is 410 kg: this affects the required floor capacity in the warehouse. EHS 1000 family: sufficient capacity for standard medium pallets. For heavy pallets (over 1,000 kg), move up to the EHS 1500 family. Height 1.6 m: the most compact in the family. Entry-level model for warehouses with low racking or for versatile use in confined spaces.
Difference from the Bernardo RHW series: EHS are electric stackers for multi-level pallet storage (lifting 1,600-3,500 mm); RHW are manual pallet trucks for cylindrical coils (lifting 115 mm). These are products for completely different applications.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South). The EHS EHS 1000 - 1.6 stacker with a machine weight of 410 kg requires a pallet truck or crane for unloading. Dimensions 1,720 × 780 mm: check warehouse access and ceiling height in relation to the extended mast in advance. The machine is supplied with a 12V battery and charger. Original spare parts (batteries, motors, wheels, masts) Bernardo available from stock with 3-5 working day shipping. Customer support available in Italian.

Not recommended |
Industrial electric stacker: exclusively professional application for warehouses with multiple racking systems. |
| Logistics warehouse with 1.6 m racking |
Recommended |
1,000 kg capacity and 1,600 mm height sized for standard multi-level storage. 1.5 kW electric motor and 12V battery for 6-8 hours of continuous operation. |
| Production plant with multi-level storage |
Recommended |
Lifting speed of 90 mm/s with load, turning radius of 1,280 mm: optimizes loading/unloading cycles in series production. |
Not suitable for: handling industrial cylindrical coils (RHW pallet trucks are correctly sized for that application); storage at heights above 1,600 mm (move to a model with greater height or consider industrial forklifts with mast racking); transporting loads over 1,000 kg (the EHS 1500 family or industrial stackers are correctly sized); warehouses with narrow aisles (1,280 mm turning radius requires a minimum aisle of 2.2-2.5 m).

Frequently asked questions
How long does the battery last in daily use?
In standard daily use, the 12V battery is sized for 6-8 hours of lifting and handling operations. A full charge requires 8-10 hours with the supplied charger.
Actual autonomy depends on work intensity: in continuous intensive use (high-frequency lifts), it is reduced to 4-5 hours; in intermittent use (occasional lifts), it can extend to 10-12 hours. For double-shift use, a spare battery or intermediate charging is recommended. Batteries are consumables with a typical lifespan of 3-5 years in standard daily use.
Is the 1,600 mm height the actual usable height?
Yes, it is the maximum height of the forks from the floor. For storage on racking, the minimum fork height (typically 85 mm) must be subtracted to obtain the usable space under the pallet.
The practical calculation: for racking with a level at 3,000 mm from the ground, a stacker with a maximum height of 1,600 mm is not sufficient; models with greater height are needed. For correct sizing relative to your racking, also consider the thickness of the fork tine (60 mm) which is inserted between the fork and the upper surface of the pallet.
Which pallet size is compatible with the forks?
Forks with a width of 180 mm and a clear width between forks of 210 mm are compatible with standard EUR pallets (1,200 × 800 mm) and typical industrial pallets (1,000 × 1,200 mm, 1,200 × 1,000 mm).
For non-standard size pallets (custom industrial, narrow pallets), check fork spacing and the possible need for adapters. EHS forks are width-adjustable via a manual positioning system. For specific compatible pallets, contact Krollit for compatibility verification.
Can I use the stacker in narrow spaces?
The turning radius of 1,280 mm and the wheelbase of 1,160 mm define the minimum operating aisle: recommended aisle 2.2-2.5 m for smooth maneuvers, absolute minimum aisle 2.0 m with slowed maneuvers.
For warehouses with aisles less than 2 m, dedicated mast stackers with a reduced turning radius (special categories) are required. Machine dimensions and turning radius are decisive parameters in warehouse layout design: check existing aisle dimensions before purchase.
Is the lifting speed sufficient for series production?
Lifting speed with load 90 mm/s = 18 seconds to reach maximum height at full load. For standard series production, it is correctly dimensioned.
A complete load/lift/position/lower cycle typically requires 60-90 seconds per standard pallet. For series production with high frequencies (above 30-40 movements/hour), consider electronically controlled industrial trucks with higher speeds. The EHS stacker is sized for standard intensive warehouse use.
