EKKO EK14 Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker – 3,300 lb Capacity with Electronic Power Steering
The EKKO EK14 Fully Powered Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker combines the reach and versatility of a forklift with the compact maneuverability of a walkie stacker, delivering a 3,300 lb load capacity and lift heights up to 130 inches. Built for contractors and trades professionals operating in loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing environments, it handles the demands of daily material movement with confidence. Its fully powered drive and lift systems eliminate manual effort, reducing operator fatigue during extended shifts.
Unlike standard straddle stackers that require open-leg clearance, the counterbalanced design allows operation with standard pallets and flush floor surfaces without outrigger legs. High-quality steel construction with robotic welding and a 24V AC drive motor with Electronic Power Steering (EPS) set it apart from entry-level walkie units in terms of durability and control precision.

Key Features & Benefits
24V AC Drive Motor with Curtis Controller
The 24V AC drive motor paired with a Curtis Controller delivers consistent, responsive power across varying load conditions and terrain changes. AC motor technology generally provides more efficient energy use and lower maintenance requirements compared to DC drive systems, which matters when running multiple shifts on a job site.
Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
EPS reduces the physical effort required to steer the unit, particularly during repetitive loading and unloading cycles. This is especially valuable for operators navigating tight loading dock lanes or congested warehouse aisles where frequent directional changes are required.
Adjustable Forks (8.6" – 28.3")
Fork width adjustability from 8.6 to 28.3 inches accommodates a wide range of pallet sizes and load configurations without requiring additional attachments. Contractors working across multiple job sites with varying pallet standards benefit from this built-in flexibility.
Mast Tilt (2/5 Degree)
The mast tilt function allows operators to angle loads for safer travel and more controlled placement on elevated surfaces. This reduces the risk of load shift during transport and improves accuracy when positioning materials on racks or shelving.
Steel Construction with Robotic Welding
The all-steel frame assembled with robotic welding provides consistent weld quality and structural integrity throughout the unit. This construction approach is built to withstand impact, directional changes, and the continuous usage demands of construction and industrial environments.
Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels offer durability on hard floor surfaces including concrete, asphalt, and warehouse flooring. They resist wear from abrasive surfaces and provide reliable traction without marking floors, making them suitable for use in finished or semi-finished interior spaces.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The counterbalanced design and 3,300 lb capacity make the EK14 well-suited for moving palletized freight directly to and from truck beds at ground level or raised dock height.
Loading Dock Operations
The unit's compact walkie form factor allows it to operate effectively in the confined space of a loading dock, where rider forklifts may be too large to maneuver efficiently.
Stock Room Material Handling
With a lift height up to 130 inches and adjustable forks, the EK14 can place and retrieve palletized stock on multi-level shelving systems in stock room environments.
Manufacturing Floor Use
The fully powered drive and lift allow operators to move heavy components and raw materials across manufacturing floors without manual exertion, supporting continuous production workflows.
Warehousing
The EK14's combination of load capacity, lift height, and EPS steering makes it a practical choice for general warehousing tasks including rack loading, order staging, and inventory rotation.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Plastic pallets
- Palletized construction materials
- Boxed and crated goods
- Bagged bulk materials on pallets
- Industrial components and equipment on pallets
