The Yale MS Series Pedestrian High Lift Stackers are battery-electric stackers designed for pedestrian-operated pallet handling and lifting. The range includes the MS10, MS12, MS14, MS16 and MS20, with rated capacities from 1,000 kg to 2,000 kg.
Features include MOSFET Combi control for traction and hydraulics, an AC drive motor, regenerative and release braking, proportional lift and lowering control, and a choice of two- or three-stage clear-view masts.
The Yale MS Series is designed for pallet handling where loads need to be transported and raised using a pedestrian-operated stacker. Its five models offer different load capacities while sharing a common set of control and handling features.
The tiller head houses the control functions for truck operation and load handling. MOSFET Combi control manages traction and hydraulics, while proportional control supports controlled lifting and lowering. Release braking and regenerative braking are also included.
Depending on the selected mast configuration, the range offers two- or three-stage masts with non-free-lift or full-free-lift arrangements. A slim 55 mm fork profile is specified for handling cage pallets lengthwise. Creep-speed functionality supports low-speed manoeuvring.
The range also offers optional cold-store protection, a load backrest, alternative tyres and an acoustic travel alarm with three configurable options.

Model selection should account for the load weight, required lift height, available aisle width, pallet dimensions and operating environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum load capacity in the Yale MS Series covered here?
The MS20 has a rated capacity of 2,000 kg. The other models have capacities of 1,000 kg, 1,200 kg, 1,400 kg and 1,600 kg.
What is the lift height of the MS10, MS12, MS14 and MS16?
3,200 mm for each of these four models.
What is the lift height of the MS20?
3,000 mm lift height.
Are these stackers battery-powered?
Yes. All five models are electric battery-powered stackers with 24 V batteries.
What type of braking system is specified?
The specifications list an electromagnetic service brake. Release braking and regenerative braking are features.
Can the mast configuration be selected?
Two- or three-stage mast arrangements, with non-free-lift and full-free-lift clear-view configurations. Confirm the available arrangement for the selected model.
Can the stackers be used in cold stores?
Cold-store protection down to −30°C. Confirm the required configuration and availability for the selected model.
How do I choose the correct MS Series model?
Choose according to the load capacity required, lift height, pallet dimensions and available working space. The MS20 has a different lift height from the MS10–MS16 models, so check the model-specific specifications before selecting.
