CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 19, 2025--

A newly patented invention, SafeStackers™ ( safestackers.com ) is poised to transform warehouse safety and logistics. Engineered for the receiving end of warehouse operations, this American-made, automated machine stacks and unstacks pallets quickly and safely eliminating the need for manual stacking and reducing the risk of serious workplace injuries. An introductory video can be viewed here.

According to OSHA and industry data, pallet-related accidents are among the most common and costly warehouse injuries, often resulting in fractures, crush incidents, and long-term worker disability. SafeStackers™ uses a programmable control system and sensor-guided forks to safely and uniformly stack and unstack pallets, removing workers from harm’s way. Immediate benefits include labor savings and increased efficiency by freeing workers and forklifts for higher-value tasks. A SafeStackers™ overview of the machine in operation can be viewed here.

“This isn’t just about automation—it’s about safety,” said Nic Wettersten, CEO of SafeStackers™. “Manual pallet stacking is a high-risk, labor-intensive task that leads to thousands of injuries each year. SafeStackers™ is designed to prevent that.”

Multi-Billion Dollar Market, Immediate ROI

According to industry data, there are at least 38,600 active warehousing businesses and over 100,000 warehouse buildings across the United States. These facilities face rising insurance premiums, labor shortages, and high injury-related costs. SafeStackers™ offers immediate benefits:

• Injury Reduction – Removes workers from high-risk stacking
• Cost Savings – Cuts labor and forklift operating costs
• Operational Efficiency – Handles large pallet volumes quickly and accurately

Strategic Focus on North Carolina Growth

SafeStackers™ is committed to U.S. manufacturing and job growth. Headquartered in the greater Charlotte, NC metro area, the company plans to build a manufacturing facility that could employ 100–200 workers. “Our vision is to establish a national sales and service dealer network,” said Steve Weintz, founder of SBW Ventures, Inc., the firm spearheading U.S. commercialization. “We’ll begin by focusing on the Charlotte marketplace but expect to be selling and shipping SafeStackers™ nationwide within months.”

SafeStackers™ gives CFOs, and warehouse facility and safety managers in large retail, logistics, and food service operations a cost-effective way to cut liability and boost operational performance—at scale.
