Who uses the EHS 1500 - 3.5 and for what
The Bernardo EHS 1500 - 3.5 is an electric stacker (pallet truck with tiller steering) sized for handling and storing pallets on multiple racks. Distinctive features: 1,500 kg capacity, 3,500 mm maximum lifting height. The number in the name (e.g., EHS 1 - 3.5) summarizes the 2 key characteristics: capacity and max height. Max height 3,500 mm: sized for high racks with 3-4 levels, logistics warehouses with high-level storage. The 1.5 kW lifting motor powered by a 12V battery provides a lifting speed with load of 65 mm/s (approx. 54 seconds to reach 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 customer workshops, the EHS 1500 - 3.5 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 (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 - 3.5 model has a capacity of 1,500 kg and a maximum height of 3,500 mm. Machine weight with battery 570 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 3.5 m: the highest in the family. For professional logistics warehouses with multi-level shelving. Check the warehouse ceiling height based on the extended mast's clearance.
Difference with 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 business days (7 days to Southern Italy). The EHS 1500 - 3.5 stacker with a machine weight of 570 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 Bernardo spare parts (batteries, motors, wheels, masts) are available from stock with 3-5 business day shipping. Customer support in Italian is available.

| Hobbyist / small workshop |
Not suitable |
Industrial electric stacker: exclusively professional application for warehouses with multiple shelving. |
| Logistics warehouse with 3.5 m shelving |
Recommended |
1,500 kg capacity and 3,500 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 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 above 3,500 mm (upgrade to a model with greater height or consider industrial forklifts with a mast rack); transporting loads over 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. A full charge takes 8-10 hours with the supplied charger.
Actual autonomy depends on work intensity: in continuous intensive use (high-cadence 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 3,500 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.
Practical calculation: for shelving with a level 3,000 mm from the ground, a stacker with a maximum height of 3,500 mm is sufficient with margin. For correct sizing relative to your shelving, also consider the thickness of the fork tip (60 mm) that interposes between the fork and the upper 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 size pallets (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 reduced turning radius (special categories) are required. Machine dimensions and turning radius are determining 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 = 54 seconds to reach maximum height at full load. For standard series production, it is correctly dimensioned.
The complete loading/lifting/positioning/lowering 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 logistical warehouse use.
