Shanghai Sinolift Equipment Co., Ltd. has announced the latest expansion of its manual warehouse equipment portfolio with the SFH AG adjustable-straddle manual hydraulic stacker series. Built for customers who need dependable pallet lifting without batteries, charging infrastructure, or complicated electronic systems, the series combines adjustable straddle legs, flexible fork positioning, durable steel construction, and smooth hydraulic lifting in a practical platform for everyday material handling.
Warehouses and production facilities often handle more than one pallet format. Open-bottom pallets, closed-bottom pallets, skids, containers, and custom load platforms may all appear within the same operation, yet conventional fixed-leg stackers can be limited when pallet width or underside clearance changes. The SFH AG series addresses this problem with adjustable straddle legs that can be positioned to suit a wider range of pallet dimensions and operating layouts.
The new series includes the SFH1016AG, SFH1025AG, and SFH1030AG. Each model offers a rated capacity of 1,000 kg and a 500 mm load center, while the available maximum lifting heights of 1,600 mm, 2,500 mm, and 3,000 mm allow customers to select the configuration that best matches their stacking, rack replenishment, and production-support requirements.
Because the stackers operate through a manual hydraulic system, no battery, charger, fuel, or external power supply is required. This makes the range particularly attractive for light- to medium-duty applications where equipment must remain available throughout the working day with minimal maintenance. Operators can move, raise, position, and stack palletized loads using a straightforward mechanical system that is easy to understand and economical to own.
The launch also reflects Sinolift’s broader product philosophy: engineering equipment that is practical, durable, stable, and accessible to customers in both established and emerging markets. Rather than adding unnecessary complexity, the SFH AG series focuses on the functions that matter most in routine warehouse work—load compatibility, lifting reliability, maneuverability, operator control, and low operating cost.
The adjustable straddle-leg design allows operators to adapt the machine to different pallet widths and load platforms. Inner leg width can be adjusted from 915 to 1,220 mm, while outer leg width ranges from 1,090 to 1,370 mm, increasing flexibility in mixed-pallet environments.
Adjustable forks provide a usable width range of 215 to 850 mm. Combined with 920 mm fork length and 100 mm single-fork width, the configuration supports a broad selection of common warehouse pallets, skids, and handling platforms.
Customers can choose among 1,600 mm, 2,500 mm, and 3,000 mm maximum lift heights. This allows the series to serve applications ranging from low-level positioning and vehicle loading to higher rack replenishment and production-line storage.
The hydraulic lifting system is designed for controlled, predictable load elevation. Manual operation avoids dependence on electrical components and gives users a simple solution that can remain ready for work without charging schedules or battery replacement planning.
A lowered fork height of 70 mm helps the stacker enter suitable low-clearance pallets and platforms. This dimension supports convenient load engagement while maintaining a strong, practical fork structure for daily use.
The stacker is built around a robust steel frame designed for repeated warehouse use. Its straightforward mechanical layout simplifies inspection and servicing, helping reduce downtime and total ownership cost over the equipment life cycle.
Depending on floor conditions and operating preferences, customers can select nylon or polyurethane wheels. The series uses 125 × 50 mm front wheels and 180 × 50 mm rear wheels to support stable movement and controlled handling.
The ergonomic manual design allows one trained operator to transport and stack loads safely and efficiently. Simple controls, clear load positioning, and power-free operation make the equipment suitable for routine tasks across multiple departments.
The SFH AG series is intended for facilities that require flexible pallet handling but do not need the cost, speed, or complexity of a powered stacker. Its adjustable geometry makes it especially useful where pallet dimensions change between suppliers, products, or departments.
Support loading, unloading, short-distance transport, low- and medium-level stacking, and routine rack replenishment of palletized goods.
Move raw materials, components, work-in-process loads, and finished products between production areas, inspection points, and storage locations.
Handle incoming inventory, replenish back-room storage, and organize palletized products without installing charging equipment.
Assist with pallet staging, order preparation, cross-docking support, and controlled movement in lower-throughput handling zones.
Lift and position machinery components, spare parts, tools, and heavy materials for repair, assembly, and maintenance activities.
Provide a dependable backup or dedicated handling solution in locations where electrical power is unavailable, restricted, or unnecessary.

For many customers, the value of a manual hydraulic stacker is not measured only by its purchase price. It is also determined by how easily the equipment can be integrated into daily operations and how little supporting infrastructure it requires. The SFH AG series needs no charging room, battery management program, fuel storage, or specialized electronic diagnostics. Routine inspection focuses on familiar mechanical and hydraulic components, which can simplify maintenance planning and reduce the number of potential failure points.
This operating model is particularly relevant for businesses with intermittent stacking requirements. A workshop may need to lift heavy parts only several times per shift. A retail distribution center may require a stacker during receiving periods but not continuously throughout the day. A production plant may keep one unit in a support area for tooling, components, or finished-product movement. In these situations, a manual stacker can provide the necessary lifting capability without the fixed costs associated with powered equipment.
The adjustable leg and fork configuration adds another layer of economic value. Instead of assigning separate machines to different pallet widths, operators can reconfigure the same stacker for multiple handling tasks within its rated capacity and dimensional limits. This flexibility can help reduce fleet duplication, improve equipment utilization, and give facilities a practical response when packaging or supplier pallet standards change.
The SFH AG series demonstrates that flexibility does not have to depend on complex technology. By combining adjustable straddle legs, multiple lifting heights, and a dependable manual hydraulic system, Sinolift gives customers a straightforward tool for the everyday handling challenges that occur across real warehouses and factories.
