Vestil PMPS Pallet Master/Server Stacker — 4,000 lb Capacity, Pallet & Skid Compatible
The Vestil Pallet Master/Server (PMPS) is a heavy-duty walk-behind stacker built as an affordable alternative to fork trucks. Rated at 4,000 lb capacity at an 18" load center, it lifts to either 50" or 60" raised height and handles both pallets and skids — with or without an understructure. Choose from three power configurations to match your facility: 115V AC corded, 12V DC battery (with onboard charger), or reciprocating Air/Oil with foot treadle control.
Why It's Different: Unlike most stackers that require a pallet's bottom deck boards, the PMPS is engineered to lift skids without an understructure — making it one of the few units that genuinely covers mixed pallet/skid operations on a single platform.
Best For: Receiving and shipping docks, manufacturing lines, mixed pallet/skid environments, facilities operating without fork trucks, and production areas needing repeatable load positioning at elevation. Heavy-duty steel construction and standard floor lock make this a fixture-grade unit for continuous-shift use.
⚠️ Capacity Rating: Rated 4,000 lb at 18" load center regardless of fork length — loads pushed further out exceed rated capacity.
⚠️ AIR variants require shop air supply — not a standalone unit; must connect to facility compressed air.
⚠️ AC variants are corded (115V) — operating range limited by outlet access.
⚠️ DC variants include lead-acid battery — California Prop 65 warning applies.
⚠️ Base units are manual walk-behind — operator pushes the unit. Add the PMPS-PTDS-E factory-installed Power Traction Drive for powered movement.
⚠️ LTL freight required — units weigh 962–1,173 lb. Receiving location must accommodate freight delivery and have means to offload.
