Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do operators need a forklift licence to use the Hyworth Walkie Reach Stacker?

No high-risk work licence is required. The Hyworth Walkie Reach Stacker is a pedestrian-operated walkie reach stacker, so it sits outside the LF and LO licence classes that apply to ride-on counterbalance forklifts in Australia. That does not mean training is optional. Under WHS regulations the operator still needs documented training and a verification of competency, and the employer needs to keep that record on file. Hyworth runs a short on-site induction at handover so operators are competent on the controls, the load chart and the safety procedures before the first shift.

The Hyworth Walkie Reach Stacker range is rated to 1,400kg at a 600mm load centre. Like every reach stacker, real-world capacity drops as lift height increases, because the moment arm and stability margins change. The factory load chart fitted to each machine gives the safe capacity at each height, and Hyworth publishes a spec sheet for the specific model in your fleet. Operators should always check the chart on the machine before lifting, particularly near the top of the mast, with off-centre loads, or with non-pallet shapes.

The Hyworth Walkie Reach Stacker comes standard with a maintenance-free lithium-ion battery. That means no watering, no battery-room ventilation, no acid spills, and a fast charger that gets the machine back to full in a fraction of the time a lead-acid pack would need. Most operators run it on opportunity charging during breaks rather than swapping packs at the end of a shift. A typical mixed-duty single shift sits comfortably inside a single charge, and multi-shift operations charge in short windows through the day. Specific battery capacity, runtime and charge times depend on the lift-height variant. Hyworth confirms the right configuration when you quote.

The Hyworth Walkie Reach Stacker is built for narrow-aisle work and the Compact variants tighten the footprint further for restricted layouts. Required aisle width depends on pallet length, fork length, sideshift use and operator turning style, so the published right-angle stacking aisle figure on the spec sheet is the safe reference. As a rough guide, if a standard counterbalance forklift cannot turn cleanly in your aisles with a 1165 x 1165 pallet, a walkie reach stacker is the natural next step before you get into very narrow aisle (VNA) territory.

Yes. The standard fork spread and tyne length are set up for 1165 x 1165mm Australian standard pallets, as well as CHEP and Loscam four-way-entry pool pallets. Longer tynes, slipper extensions and adjusted fork spread are available where you regularly handle Euro pallets, plastic export pallets, or odd-sized custom pallets. Flag the pallet types you actually run when you enquire, because the wrong fork length wastes capacity and creates handling risk.

Best fit is indoor or under-cover work on smooth concrete: warehouse putaway and retrieval, container unloading at dock height, cold store, retail and hospitality back-of-house, light manufacturing, and pick-and-pack operations with selective racking. It is not the right machine for rough yards, gravel, long travel distances between buildings, or trailer loading from ground level on uneven surfaces, where a counterbalance forklift earns its keep. If your operation is split between a clean indoor warehouse and a dirty outdoor yard, you usually need both, not one trying to do both jobs.

The honest threshold is when you start lifting pallets above about 1.6m, when operators are doing more than a handful of lifts a day, or when you need to reach into the second beam of a racking bay. Manual and semi-electric stackers are fine for low-level transfer work and the occasional lift, but they punish operators on volume and they are not built for racking work at height. The Hyworth Walkie Reach Stacker adds powered drive, a sideshift, reach and tilt, and a load chart engineered for racking, which is what changes the safety and productivity picture.

If your work is indoor, the floor is flat, the loads are at or under 1.4 tonne, you do not need to drive on and off trailers, and you want to free up aisle space, the Walkie Reach Stacker usually replaces a small counterbalance with no loss of throughput and a meaningful gain in aisle utilisation. Counterbalance forklifts still win on outdoor work, on yard duties, on heavy or long loads, and on operators who travel long distances with the load. Many sites end up running both, with the walkie reach stacker doing the inside work and a counterbalance kept for the dock and the yard.

Short, gentle ramps with a clean surface, such as a dock leveller, a gutter ramp into a trailer, or a smooth driveway, are within scope, with the load travelling uphill on the upgrade and downgrade as the operator manual directs. Longer or steeper inclines, wet surfaces, gravel and broken concrete are outside the design envelope, and the small drive wheels and pedestrian operating position make sustained outdoor work uncomfortable and unsafe. For anything beyond occasional ramp work, choose a counterbalance.

Standard equipment includes AC drive with regenerative braking, electric power steering, the Moonwalk slow-speed function for tight aisles, sideshift, reach and tilt on the fingertip control handle, proportional hydraulic controls, a perspex safety screen, and the 525Ah lead-acid battery. Common options are the lithium battery and fast charger, longer fork tynes, slipper extensions, a load guard, a digital weight gauge, a flashing beacon, a blue spot pedestrian warning light, and a rubber gutter ramp. Hyworth specs the machine to the site rather than the brochure, so flag unusual loads, doorways or layouts up front and the right configuration arrives the first time.

New Walkie Reach Stacker machines come with a three-year parts and labour manufacturer’s warranty and fixed-price scheduled servicing, so the lifetime cost is predictable rather than open-ended. Hyworth services on-site across Sydney and arranges service Australia-wide, supplies a loan machine when yours is in for major work, and stocks spares locally rather than waiting on shipments from overseas. That backing matters more than headline price the day a machine is down on a busy week.

Hire is the right call for short-term, seasonal or project work, and for sites that want to test whether a walkie reach stacker is genuinely the right tool before they commit capital. Buy is the right call when usage is daily and ongoing, and when the cost of ownership over three to five years beats the cumulative hire cost, which it usually does past about the eighteen-month mark on full-time machines. Long-term rental and rent-to-own sit in between and are worth modelling if you want a predictable monthly cost without the balance-sheet impact of a purchase.

Hyworth delivers the machine to site, walks through a documented condition check on arrival and runs an on-site induction with the operators who will actually use it. The induction covers daily pre-start checks, the load chart, the controls, sideshift, reach and tilt, charging procedure for the battery type fitted, and the emergency stop. Bookings go smoother when you confirm the lift height, pallet type and floor condition at the inquiry stage, so the configuration that arrives matches the work it has to do.
