I think this would very much depend on:
  1. The volume of pallets to be moved each day
  2. The stack height of the pallets
  3. The weight of the pallets
  4. The amount of traffic in the warehouse and the impact on operator safety (reach Truck might be safer)

I would ask a supplier to come in and provide some advice/quotes.

thanks for the advice..

we're considering the Pallet Stacker bec of smaller aisle requirement and lower cost. Also bec our warehouse is not that big, thus not much space to travel from end to end

Then the pallet stacker probably makes sense...
