EKKO EB14C-145Li Electric Straddle Stacker – 3,000 lb Capacity, 145" Lift Height
The EKKO EB14C-145Li Electric Straddle Stacker is a heavy-duty, battery-powered material handling solution engineered for contractors and trades professionals operating in warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics environments. Combining the functional versatility of a forklift, reach truck, and walkie stacker in a single platform, it delivers a 3,000 lb load capacity with a maximum raised height of 145" (12.08 ft.). It is purpose-built for loading and unloading trucks, servicing loading docks, navigating stock rooms, and supporting manufacturing floor operations.
Unlike conventional walkie stackers, the EB14C-145Li features a dual damping drive system that delivers stronger handling performance and operator comfort across varied terrain and directional changes. Its high-quality steel construction and adjustable fork and leg geometry allow it to adapt to a wide range of pallet configurations and aisle widths that fixed-geometry stackers cannot accommodate.

Key Features & Benefits
Dual Damping Drive System
The dual damping drive system is engineered for stronger handling performance, greater operational efficiency, and reduced operator fatigue. For contractors running high-cycle operations across uneven or demanding floor surfaces, this system absorbs impact and smooths directional changes that would otherwise wear down both equipment and personnel.
Adjustable Forks and Legs
Fork width adjustability from 8.7" to 32.1" and leg spread adjustability from 35.4" to 51.2" allow the EB14C-145Li to handle a broad range of pallet sizes and aisle configurations. This flexibility reduces the need for multiple specialized machines on a single jobsite or warehouse floor.
24V / 50Ah Lithium Battery
The lithium battery platform provides the power density and cycle life advantages of lithium chemistry without the watering and equalization maintenance requirements of lead-acid alternatives. For contractors who cannot afford unplanned downtime, lithium's consistent discharge curve means reliable performance across a full shift.
Curtis Instrument Controller
The Curtis Instrument Controller is a proven, industry-recognized motor control platform used across EKKO's professional-grade stacker and forklift lineup. It provides precise throttle and lift control, which is critical when positioning loads at height or maneuvering in confined spaces.
Steel Construction with Polyurethane Wheels
High-quality steel construction ensures the frame can absorb the impacts and stresses inherent to continuous loading dock and warehouse use. Polyurethane wheels deliver floor protection, low rolling resistance, and durability across smooth concrete and similar hard surfaces.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and control layout reduces operator strain during extended use, which directly supports productivity on long shifts. Comfortable, intuitive controls also reduce the risk of operational errors when handling loads at full lift height.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The EB14C-145Li is specifically designed for truck loading and unloading operations, where a compact footprint combined with a 3,000 lb capacity allows efficient cargo transfer without requiring a full sit-down forklift.
Loading Dock Operations
At loading docks, the stacker's adjustable legs and forks allow it to engage standard and non-standard pallets quickly, minimizing dwell time at the dock and keeping inbound and outbound freight moving.
Stock Room Material Handling
In stock room environments with limited aisle width, the straddle stacker configuration allows operators to navigate tighter spaces than a counterbalanced forklift while still achieving the full 145" lift height needed to access high racking.
Manufacturing Floor Support
On manufacturing floors, the EB14C-145Li supports just-in-time material delivery to workstations and line-side storage replenishment, where consistent, reliable lifting performance is required throughout the shift.
Warehousing and Racking Operations
With a 145" maximum raised height and 3,000 lb capacity, the stacker is well-suited for placing and retrieving palletized loads on standard warehouse racking systems, reducing reliance on larger, more costly powered industrial trucks for mid-height storage tasks.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Plastic pallets
- Palletized construction materials
- Smooth concrete floors
- Hard, level warehouse and manufacturing floor surfaces
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum lift height of the EB14C-145Li?
A: The EB14C-145Li reaches a maximum raised height of 145" (12.08 ft.), making it suitable for accessing mid-to-high warehouse racking positions.
Q: What battery type does this stacker use?
A: It is equipped with a 24V / 50Ah lithium battery, which eliminates the maintenance requirements associated with lead-acid batteries and provides consistent performance throughout the discharge cycle.
Q: Can the forks and legs be adjusted to fit different pallet sizes?
A: Yes. Fork width is adjustable from 8.7" to 32.1" and the straddle legs are adjustable from 35.4" to 51.2", accommodating a wide range of standard and non-standard pallet footprints.
Q: What surfaces is the EB14C-145Li designed to operate on?
A: The machine is fitted with polyurethane wheels and a dual damping drive system designed to handle varied terrain, impacts, and directional changes, making it appropriate for smooth concrete and hard industrial floor surfaces typical of warehouses, stock rooms, and manufacturing facilities.
Q: How does the dual damping drive system benefit operators?
A: The dual damping drive system is designed to provide stronger handling performance and greater operator comfort by absorbing impacts and smoothing out directional changes during operation, which is particularly valuable during extended, high-cycle shifts.
