Stacker & Pallet Truck Motor Controller

Compact, quiet and efficient controllers for the traction and hydraulic pump motors of electric stackers, pallet trucks and reach trucks.

Stackers and pallet trucks are smaller than forklifts but often the busiest vehicles in a warehouse. They need precise maneuvering in narrow aisles, quiet operation and long battery life. NES Drive stacker controllers fit small chassis thanks to their compact size and deliver smooth, ripple-free torque even at low speed.

In this class the battery voltage is typically 12–48 V and space is tight. The TULPAR (BLDC/PMSM) series is ideal for quiet, maintenance-free operation, while the BAMSI (brushed DC) series is perfect for retrofitting existing DC-motor vehicles. Both include regenerative braking and full protection (overcurrent, temperature, reverse polarity).

Why NES Drive for stackers?
Compact design Fits small chassis and tight enclosures; easy to mount.
Quiet operation No brush noise with BLDC/PMSM; suited to enclosed warehouses.
Precise maneuvering Smooth low-speed control in narrow aisles.

Frequently asked questions
I want to retrofit my old DC pallet truck — is it compatible?

Yes. For brushed DC vehicles the BAMSI series is directly compatible; you can keep the existing motor and upgrade the controller.

Quiet operation matters — which series?

The brushless TULPAR (BLDC/PMSM) series runs quietly without brush noise and is maintenance-free; ideal for enclosed warehouses.

Does the controller fit a small chassis?

Stacker-class models are compact by design. Share your available space and we will recommend a model that fits.

Does it give precise control in narrow aisles?

Yes. FOC vector control provides smooth, predictable torque even at low speed, which is safe for tight-space maneuvering.
