Who uses the EHS 1500 - 2.5 and for what
The Bernardo EHS 1500 - 2.5 is an electric stacker (powered pallet truck) designed for handling and stacking pallets on multiple racks. Distinctive features: capacity 1,500 kg, maximum lifting height 2,500 mm. The number in the name (e.g., EHS 1 - 2.5) summarizes the two key features: capacity and max height. Max height 2,500 mm: sized for standard 2-level shelving above ground, positioning on low mezzanines. The 1.5 kW lift motor, powered by a 12V battery, provides a lifting speed with load of 65 mm/s (approximately 38 seconds to reach the maximum height at full load). The 1,280 mm turning radius allows maneuverability in standard warehouse aisles (minimum aisle recommended 2.2-2.5 m). In Krollit customer laboratories, the EHS 1500 - 2.5 is chosen by logistics warehouses, palletized material depots, facilities with multi-level shelving, 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 (capacity 1,000 kg) available in 3 heights (1.6 / 2.5 / 3.0 m), EHS 1500 (capacity 1,500 kg) 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 1500 - 2.5 model has a capacity of 1,500 kg and a max height of 2,500 mm. Machine weight with battery 516 kg: this affects the required floor capacity in the warehouse. EHS 1500 family: higher capacity for heavy standard pallets. For even higher capacities (over 1,500 kg), industrial stackers from the EDS series or dedicated forklifts are available. Height 2.5 m: balance between lifting capacity and machine dimensions. Suitable for warehouses with 2-level shelving.
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). They are products for completely different applications.
Logistics and Krollit support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 business days (7 days to the South). The EHS 1500 - 2.5 stacker, with a machine weight of 516 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 comes with a 12V battery and charger. Original Bernardo spare parts (batteries, motors, wheels, masts) available from stock with 3-5 business day shipping. Italian customer assistance available.

Reason |
| Hobbyist / small workshop |
Not suitable |
Industrial electric stacker: exclusively professional application for warehouses with multiple shelving. |
| Logistics warehouse with 2.5 m shelving |
Recommended |
Capacity 1,500 kg and height 2,500 mm 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 65 mm/s with load, turning radius 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 greater than 2,500 mm (upgrade to a model with greater height or consider industrial forklifts with mast shelving); transporting loads greater than 1,500 kg (the EHS 1500 family or industrial stackers are correctly sized); warehouses with narrow aisles (turning radius 1,280 mm 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 takes 8-10 hours with the supplied charger.
Actual autonomy depends on the intensity of work: in intensive continuous use (high-frequency lifting), it is reduced to 4-5 hours; in intermittent use (occasional lifting), 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 2,500 mm height actually usable?
Yes, it is the maximum height of the forks from the floor. For storage on shelving, the minimum fork height (typically 85 mm) must be subtracted to obtain the usable space under the pallet.
The practical calculation: for shelving with a platform 3,000 mm from the ground, a stacker with a max height of 2,500 mm is not sufficient; models with greater height are needed. For correct sizing relative to your shelving, also consider the thickness of the fork tip (60 mm) which sits between the fork and the top surface of the pallet.
What pallet size is compatible with the forks?
The forks with a width of 180 mm and a net 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 pallet sizes (custom industrial, narrow pallets), check the fork spacing and any need for adapters. EHS forks are width-adjustable via the manual positioning system. For specific compatible pallets, contact Krollit for compatibility verification.
Can I use the stacker in tight spaces?
The 1,280 mm turning radius and 1,160 mm wheelbase define the minimum operational aisle: recommended aisle 2.2-2.5 m for smooth maneuvers, absolute minimum aisle 2.0 m with slowed maneuvers.
For warehouses with aisles smaller than 2 m, dedicated mast stackers with a reduced turning radius are required (special categories). Machine dimensions and turning radius are decisive parameters in warehouse layout design: check the sizing of existing aisles before purchasing.
Is the lifting speed sufficient for series production?
Lifting speed with load 65 mm/s = 38 seconds to reach maximum height at full load. For standard series production, it is correctly sized.
A complete loading/lifting/positioning/lowering cycle typically takes 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 logistics use.
