Who uses the EHS 1500 - 3.0 and for what
The Bernardo EHS 1500 - 3.0 is an electric stacker (powered pallet truck with tiller control) sized for handling and storing pallets on multiple racks. Key features: capacity 1,500 kg, maximum lifting height 3,000 mm. The number in the name (e.g., EHS 1 - 3.0) summarizes the 2 key characteristics: capacity and max height. Max height 3,000 mm: sized for standard 3-level racking above ground, medium-depth warehouses. The 1.5 kW lifting motor powered by a 12V battery provides a lifting speed with load of 65 mm/s (approximately 46 seconds to reach the maximum height at full load). The 1,280 mm turning radius allows maneuverability in standard warehouse aisles (recommended minimum aisle 2.2-2.5 m). In Krollit customers' workshops, the EHS 1500 - 3.0 is chosen by logistics warehouses, palletized material depots, facilities 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 1500 - 3.0 model has a capacity of 1,500 kg and a max height of 3,000 mm. Machine weight with battery 543 kg: this affects the required floor capacity in the warehouse. EHS 1500 family: higher capacity for standard heavy pallets. For even higher capacities (over 1,500 kg), EDS series industrial stackers or dedicated forklifts are available. Height 3.0 m: intermediate choice for warehouses with 3-level racking. Balance between useful height and retracted mast dimensions.
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.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South). The EHS EHS 1500 - 3.0 stacker with a machine weight of 543 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 days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.

Reason |
| Hobbyist / small workshop |
Not recommended |
Industrial electric stacker: exclusively professional application for warehouses with multiple racking. |
| Logistics warehouse with 3.0 m racking |
Recommended |
1,500 kg capacity and 3,000 mm height sized for standard multi-level storage. 1.5 kW electric motor and 12V battery for 6-8 hours of operating autonomy in continuous use. |
| Production facility with multi-level storage |
Recommended |
Lifting speed of 65 mm/s with load, turning radius of 1,280 mm: optimizes loading/unloading cycles in series production. |
Not recommended for: handling industrial cylindrical coils (RHW pallet trucks are correctly sized for that application); storage at heights above 3,000 mm (upgrade to a model with greater height or consider industrial forklifts with mast racking); transporting loads exceeding 1,500 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. Full charging requires 8-10 hours with the supplied charger.
Actual autonomy depends on work intensity: in continuous intensive use (high-cadence 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 3,000 mm height actually usable?
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 useful space under the pallet.
The practical calculation: for racking with a floor 3,000 mm from the ground, a stacker with a max height of 3,000 mm is sufficient with a margin. For correct sizing relative to your racking, also consider the thickness of the fork tip (60 mm) which is interposed between the fork and the upper surface of the pallet.
What pallet size is compatible with the forks?
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 size pallets (custom industrial, narrow pallets), check the fork spacing and the possible 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 less than 2 m, dedicated mast stackers with 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 purchase.
Is the lifting speed sufficient for series production?
Lifting speed with load 65 mm/s = 46 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 logistical warehouse use.
