It has the highest throughput and hand capacity from all inserters. Unlike all other inserters hand of stack inserter must be full before it will swing. Its unique function is ability to put items in stacks on a belt, drastically increasing throughput of belts by up to 4 times.

Stack size

The stack size is increased by the Inserter capacity bonus (research) technology. The stack size can be overridden to set how many items it picks up at one time, with the maximum being the highest research level currently unlocked.

Trivia
