Who uses the EDS 1250 - 1.5 and for what
The Bernardo EDS 1250 - 1.5 is a mid-to-heavy duty industrial electric pallet stacker with tiller steering (pedestrian operator walking behind the machine, not onboard). Key features compared to the lower-range EHS stackers: higher capacity (1,250 kg vs 1,000-1,500 kg), more powerful motors (lift 2.2 kW vs 1.5 kW for EHS, dedicated traction 1.2 kW), 24V battery (vs 12V for EHS) for extended operating autonomy, higher travel speed (5.2 km/h with load vs 4 km/h for EHS), gradeability with load 6%, turning radius 1,590 mm (vs 1,280 for EHS, slightly less maneuverable in exchange for higher capacity). Max height 1.5 m: dimensioned for low shelving, high workbenches, ergonomic positioning in production lines. The dedicated 1.2 kW traction motor (separate from lifting) allows continuous operating cycles without compromising between movement and lifting, a useful feature for series production with high cycle times. In Krollit customer workshops, the EDS 1250 - 1.5 is chosen by medium-large logistics warehouses, production facilities with intensive cycles, distribution centers, and heavy pallet material depots.
Its place in the range
The Bernardo EDS electric pedestrian stacker range is organized into 4 models by lift height, all with a capacity of 1,250 kg: EDS 1250-1.5 (lift 1,520 mm), EDS 1250-2.8 (lift 2,820 mm), EDS 1250-3.1 (lift 3,120 mm), EDS 1250-3.5 (lift 3,520 mm). All models share a 2.2 kW lift motor, 1.2 kW traction motor, 24V battery, 5.2 km/h travel speed with load, 1,590 mm turning radius, and 1,278 mm wheelbase.
The EDS 1250 - 1.5 model has a max height of 1,520 mm, machine weight of 810 kg, and dimensions of 1.889 × 890 mm. Entry model: for ergonomic positioning applications, low shelving, high workbenches.
Difference from the Bernardo EHS family: the EDS models have a dedicated traction motor (1.2 kW) and a 24V battery (vs only a lift motor and 12V battery for the EHS models): suitable for continuous intensive use. The EHS models are more economical and dimensioned for standard warehouse use. The 1,250 kg capacity of the EDS models is intermediate between the EHS 1000 and EHS 1500.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days for Southern Italy). The EDS EDS 1250 - 1.5 with a machine weight of 810 kg requires a pallet truck or crane for unloading. Dimensions 1.889 × 890 mm: check warehouse access and ceiling height in relation to the extended mast in advance. The machine is supplied with a 24V battery and charger. Original Bernardo spare parts (batteries, motors, masts, wheels) available from stock with 3-5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.

Frequently asked questions
Why EDS and not the lower EHS family?
The EDS models have a dedicated traction motor (1.2 kW separate from lifting), a 24V battery (vs 12V for EHS), higher capacity (1,250 kg vs 1,000-1,500 kg), and a higher travel speed (5.2 vs 4 km/h). For continuous intensive use, the EDS models are correctly sized; for standard warehouse use, the EHS models are more economical.
Economic comparison: standard EHS approx. €3,000-€6,000; heavy-duty EDS approx. €6,000-€12,000. The additional cost of the EDS models is justified by: continuous operating cycles (over 50 movements/hour), medium-large warehouses with long distances between stations, applications where travel speed significantly impacts productivity.
Does the 1,520 mm height include the minimum fork height?
Yes. The value is the maximum height the forks can reach from the floor. The usable height for storage is calculated by subtracting the minimum fork height (81 mm) and the fork's own footprint (60 mm).
Practical calculation: for shelving with a top shelf 3,000 mm from the ground, a stacker with a max height of 1,520 mm is not sufficient; models with a greater height (3.1 or 3.5 m) are needed. For correct sizing, also consider the extended mast height (technical parameter) to check the warehouse ceiling height.
How long does the 24V battery last in intensive use?
In continuous intensive use (50-80 movements/hour), the 24V battery typically lasts 6-8 hours. In standard use (20-30 movements/hour), it can extend to 8-10 hours. A full charge takes approximately 8-10 hours.
For double-shift use without interruption, a spare battery or intermediate charging during breaks is recommended. 24V batteries have a typical lifespan of 4-6 years in standard intensive use before requiring replacement. Original Bernardo replacement batteries are available from stock with 3-5 working days shipping.
Is the 6% gradeability with load sufficient?
For most warehouses, yes. Standard loading ramps have a gradient of 6-8%, internal ramps between departments typically 3-5%. The 6% value refers to static gradient with nominal load; for steeper gradients, consider trucks with more powerful motors.
For gradients exceeding 6% (e.g., access to basements, steep loading ramps), it is recommended to move the load in two phases: ascent without load, lifting, horizontal movement. For applications with regular gradients over 10%, industrial trucks with superior traction (thermal engine or heavy industrial electric) are required.
Does the 1,590 mm turning radius allow maneuvers in narrow aisles?
For standard warehouse aisles (2.8-3.5 m), yes. For narrow aisles under 2.5 m, the EDS models require slower maneuvers or are not dimensioned. For warehouses with very narrow aisles (under 2 m), dedicated mast trucks or tri-lateral trucks are needed.
The correct dimensioning of the warehouse layout in relation to the truck's turning radius is essential for productivity and safety. Check existing aisles against the truck's specifications in advance. For new warehouses, it is recommended to dimension aisles with at least 0.5 m margin beyond the selected truck's turning radius.
