EKKO EB13C-118 Electric Straddle Stacker — 2,800 lb Capacity Walkie with 118" Lift Height
The EKKO EB13C-118 Full Powered Electric Straddle Stacker is a walkie-type material handling unit engineered to combine the functional versatility of a forklift, reach truck, and walkie stacker into a single platform. Rated for 2,800 lb loads and a raised height of 118", it is built for contractors and trades professionals operating in loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing environments. High-quality steel construction paired with durable drive components allows it to withstand demanding terrain, repeated directional changes, and heavy-cycle usage.
Unlike a conventional walkie stacker or standalone reach truck, the EB13C-118 delivers fully powered drive and lift in a compact straddle frame, eliminating the operator fatigue associated with manual-drive alternatives. Adjustable forks and straddle legs provide the dimensional flexibility needed to handle varying pallet sizes and aisle widths without swapping attachments.

Key Features & Benefits
Curtis Instrument Controller
The Curtis Instrument Controller is an industry-recognized drive management system that governs motor output, acceleration, and braking. For contractors running high-cycle operations, a proven controller reduces downtime associated with drive system failures and simplifies diagnostics when service is needed.
Fully Powered Drive and Lift
Both drive and lift functions are electrically powered, meaning the operator is not manually pushing or pulling loaded weight. This reduces operator fatigue during extended shifts and increases throughput in demanding loading dock or warehousing applications.
Adjustable Forks and Straddle Legs
Fork width adjusts from 8.6" to 32.1" and straddle legs adjust from 35.4" to 51.2", allowing the unit to accommodate a broad range of pallet dimensions and aisle constraints without tool changes. This flexibility makes the EB13C-118 practical across multiple job site configurations.
Steel Frame Construction with Polyurethane Wheels
The all-steel frame is built to absorb impact and resist deformation under repeated heavy loads and directional changes. Polyurethane wheels provide durability on hard indoor surfaces common to manufacturing floors, stock rooms, and loading docks.
Internal 24V / 85Ah Battery with Onboard Charger
The integrated 24V / 85Ah battery and internal charger eliminate the need for a separate charging station or battery-swap infrastructure, reducing equipment overhead for contractors. Charging is performed directly at the unit, keeping the stacker ready at the point of use.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
Operator controls are positioned at the handle for intuitive, single-point access to drive and lift functions. Ergonomic design reduces repetitive strain during extended operation, which is a practical consideration for contractors managing operator productivity over full working shifts.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The 2,800 lb capacity and 45.3" fork length make the EB13C-118 well suited for moving palletized loads on and off truck beds at loading docks.
Loading Dock Operations
Compact straddle design and adjustable leg width allow the unit to navigate dock-area constraints while handling standard and non-standard pallet sizes.
Stock Room Material Handling
The 118" raised height enables high-shelf storage and retrieval in stock room environments where vertical space is used to maximize floor capacity.
Manufacturing Floor Transport
Fully powered drive handles the repeated, directional movements typical of manufacturing floor material flow, reducing operator effort and cycle time between stations.
Warehousing and Racking
The combination of adjustable forks, straddle legs, and 118" lift height allows the stacker to place and retrieve loads at warehouse racking heights within its rated capacity.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Palletized construction materials and supplies
- Boxed and crated goods
- Manufactured components on pallets
- Warehouse-racked inventory (within 2,800 lb capacity and 118" height limits)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum lift height of the EB13C-118?
A: The EB13C-118 raises loads to a maximum height of 118".
Q: Does the unit require an external battery charger?
A: No. The EB13C-118 includes an internal charger, so the 24V / 85Ah battery is charged directly at the unit without a separate charging station.
Q: Can the fork width and leg width be adjusted on the job?
A: Yes. Fork width is adjustable from 8.6" to 32.1" and straddle leg width is adjustable from 35.4" to 51.2", accommodating different pallet sizes and aisle configurations.
Q: What type of controller does this stacker use?
A: The EB13C-118 uses a Curtis Instrument Controller to manage the DC drive motor.
Q: What surfaces are the wheels suited for?
A: The unit is equipped with polyurethane wheels, which are designed for hard indoor surfaces such as concrete floors common to loading docks, warehouses, stock rooms, and manufacturing facilities.
