Automated Load Stackers and Pallet Inserters

Overview

Automated Load Stackers and Pallet Inserters are engineered systems designed to stack palletized loads, stack unitized wrapped loads, and automatically insert pallets into single- or double-high unit loads. These systems are commonly used in high-throughput pallet handling operations where repeatability, load stability, and labor reduction are required.



Developed using proven Industrial Kinetics pallet-handling practices and unit-handling conveyor principles, automated stackers and pallet inserters integrate mechanical load handling, controlled lifting, and precise load positioning to support downstream warehousing, storage, and shipping operations.

Material Delivery and Dunnage Removal Conveyor system for Parallel Assembly Line, Overhead Material Delivery System

August 29, 2025
A vehicle manufacturer was looking for a new method to deliver materials for the assembly of vehicles to four parallel assembly lines. IK developed, engineered, and implemented an overhead pallet conveyor system that provided great benefits to the vehicle manufacturer.

System Integration

Automated Load Stackers and Pallet Inserters integrate with: - Live roller and chain-driven pallet conveyors - Pallet dispensers - Stretch wrappers and unitizers - Robotic palletizers and depalletizers - Warehouse control and management systems

Upstream load stops and centering devices ensure proper load positioning prior to stacking, while downstream conveyors handle completed stacks.

What industries typically use these systems:

01

Manufacturing facilities

02

Distribution and fulfillment centers

03

Consumer packaged goods operations

04

Automated warehouses

05

Palletizing and load unitization systems

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of loads can be stacked?

    The systems are designed for palletized loads and unitized, stretch-wrapped loads.

  • How are pallets inserted into stacked loads?

    Pallet insertion is performed automatically using integrated pallet handling mechanisms coordinated with the stacking sequence.

  • When is a hydraulic lift preferred?

    Hydraulic lifts are commonly selected for 40 in leading load orientations with a separate stacking mechanism.

  • When is a servo-driven stacker preferred?

    Fork-style electromechanical servo-driven stackers are typically selected for 48 in loading orientations where precise load placement is required.

  • Can these systems integrate with existing conveyors?

    Yes. Automated stackers and pallet inserters are designed to integrate with new or existing conveyor systems and upstream load preparation equipment.
