EKKO EK14 Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker – 3,300 lb Capacity with Forklift-Class Versatility
The EKKO EK14 Fully Powered Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker delivers 3,300 lbs of lifting capacity with a raised height of up to 130" (10.8 ft), combining the maneuverability of a walkie stacker with the performance characteristics of a forklift. Built for contractors, warehouse operators, and trades professionals who need reliable powered material handling in demanding environments. It is purpose-built for loading and unloading trucks, loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing applications.
Unlike standard walkie stackers that rely on straddle legs, the EK14's counterbalanced design eliminates outriggers, allowing it to handle standard pallets and work in tighter spaces without the footprint restrictions of a straddle-leg configuration. The combination of a German AC drive motor with Curtis Controller and Electronic Power Steering (EPS) sets it apart from DC-motor alternatives in terms of efficiency and controllability.

Key Features & Benefits
Counterbalanced Design
The counterbalanced configuration removes the need for straddle outrigger legs, giving operators the ability to pick standard pallets and navigate aisles the same way a forklift would. This is a meaningful advantage on job sites and dock areas where straddle legs create clearance problems.
Curtis Controller with 24V AC Drive Motor
The Curtis Controller paired with a 24V AC drive motor provides precise speed and torque management, delivering consistent performance through directional changes, ramp transitions, and varied load conditions. AC motor technology generally offers lower maintenance requirements compared to brushed DC alternatives.
Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
EPS reduces operator fatigue during extended shifts by eliminating the manual steering effort required on mechanically-linked systems. For contractors running repeated loading cycles at a dock or through a stockroom, this directly reduces fatigue-related errors.
Adjustable Forks (8.6" – 28.3" Width)
The wide fork-width adjustment range — from 8.6" to 28.3" — allows the EK14 to handle a broad variety of pallet sizes and load configurations without swapping attachments. Combined with the 45.3" fork length, it accommodates standard and non-standard pallet footprints encountered across warehousing and manufacturing environments.
Fork Tilt (2° / 5°)
Dual-angle tilt capability allows operators to safely position loads on the forks during pickup and set down, reducing the risk of load shift. The 5° range provides flexibility when working on surfaces that are not perfectly level.
Steel Construction with Robotic Welding
The all-steel frame produced with robotic welding delivers consistent weld quality and structural integrity capable of withstanding repeated impact, directional changes, and heavy-duty daily use. Robotic welding eliminates the variability of manual welds, which matters when the machine is handling loads at elevated heights.
Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels resist wear and provide traction across the concrete, asphalt, and dock-plate surfaces typical of the target applications, while leaving no marks on finished floors where that is a requirement.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and control layout is designed to minimize operator strain and keep critical controls within easy reach during operation, which supports productivity and safety during extended use cycles.
Charger Included
The EK14 ships with a charger included, eliminating the need to source a compatible charging solution separately — a practical consideration for contractors setting up a new jobsite operation.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The counterbalanced design and 3,300 lb capacity make the EK14 well-suited for pulling pallets directly from truck beds and trailers at loading docks, where straddle-leg clearance would otherwise be a limitation.
Loading Dock Operations
At dock-height transitions, the EK14's fork tilt and EPS steering support controlled, efficient pallet transfers between dock and floor level.
Stock Room Management
With a raised height of up to 130" and adjustable fork width, the EK14 can access multiple shelf heights and handle varying pallet configurations in stock room environments.
Manufacturing Floors
The machine's durable steel construction and AC drive motor are built to withstand the continuous use and directional changes characteristic of active manufacturing floor material flow.
Warehousing
The 118" or 130" lift height options provide the vertical reach needed for standard warehouse racking systems, and the adjustable forks accommodate the range of pallet types common in warehousing operations.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Plastic pallets
- Concrete floors
- Asphalt surfaces
- Dock plates and dock boards
- Finished interior floors (polyurethane wheels are non-marking)
