The MAIHUI SLA Material Lift is a professional manual material lift designed to raise loads of 295–454 kg to heights of 2.0 m–7.94 m, depending on the model. Built with a patented telescoping aluminum mast, this portable pallet stacker sets up in seconds without tools and rolls through standard single doorways upright—making it one of the most versatile material lifts available for indoor and outdoor use.
The SLA Material Lift (also referred to as a manual material lift, portable telescopic material lift, or pallet stacker) is a non-powered, hand-operated lifting device. It uses a manual winch mechanism—available in one-speed or two-speed configurations—to raise and lower loads with precision and minimal operator effort. Its lightweight aluminum construction keeps the unit easy to transport, while foldable legs and removable attachments allow it to fit into a standard van or pickup truck.
Unlike electric stackers or forklifts, the SLA Material Lift is better suited for operations that require frequent repositioning, tool-free setup, and use in locations where powered equipment is unavailable or impractical.

Choosing the right model: The SLA-10 is best suited for operations requiring maximum load capacity (up to 454 kg) at lower heights, while the SLA-25 is the preferred choice for reaching heights up to 7.94 m where reduced load weights (295 kg) are acceptable. Mid-range models SLA-15 and SLA-20 balance reach and capacity for general-purpose use.

Q: What is the maximum lift height of the SLA Material Lift?
The SLA Material Lift reaches a maximum lift height of 7.94 m (standard forks up) on the SLA-25 model. Other models lift to 3.49 m (SLA-10), 4.98 m (SLA-15), and 6.46 m (SLA-20).
Q: How much weight can the SLA Material Lift carry?
Load capacity ranges from 295 kg to 454 kg depending on the model and load center distance. The SLA-10 model offers the highest capacity at 454 kg at both the 46 cm and 61 cm load centers.
Q: Does the SLA Material Lift require tools to set up?
No. The SLA Material Lift is designed for tool-free setup and can be made operational in seconds. Its foldable legs and removable attachments also allow it to be packed and transported in a standard van or pickup truck.
Q: What is the difference between the SLA Material Lift and an electric pallet stacker?
The SLA Material Lift is a manual, non-powered unit operated via a hand winch, making it ideal for locations without power access, frequent repositioning, or budget-conscious operations. Electric pallet stackers offer powered lifting for higher-volume, repetitive tasks. The SLA is better suited for flexible, low-frequency lifting in variable environments; an electric stacker is more efficient for continuous warehouse operations.
Q: Can the SLA Material Lift be used outdoors?
Yes. The SLA Material Lift is suitable for use on stable outdoor surfaces including construction sites, agricultural settings, and emergency response locations. Its maneuverable casters with swivel locks and side brakes help maintain stability on varied surfaces.
