Stackers are used for handling bulk materials, which were previously controlled manually. Nowadays, stacker machines have become automated with the advancement in the technologies. Responsive traction control, narrow chassis and electronic steering for the stackers to move in narrow spaces along with precise proportional lift are some of the modern features that are being employed in stackers. The market players have developed a number of automated stacker systems in order to fulfil task-specific applications. The increasing usage of new technologies, such as Radio-frequency identification (RFID), Internet of Things (IoT), and voice picking, is expected to change the landscape of stackers market in the near future. The evolution in the stackers design will be based on improving and easing warehouse & logistics operations in order to meet the customer demand in the rapidly changing business environment. Growing infrastructure projects and the power sector will drive the demand of stackers in the future. The end-user demand of various stackers depends upon the scope of the application. The key market participants are looking forward to hold their leading position with a strong product line up. Stackers are used in a wide variety of fields including manufacturing, transportation, packaging, storage and various other industrial processes, especially in industries such as food, textile, pulp & paper, healthcare, energy, automotive and moulding.
