EKKO EK14CS-189Li Lithium Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker with Side Shifting — 3,000 lb. Capacity at 189" Lift Height
The EKKO EK14CS-189Li is a lithium-powered counterbalanced walkie stacker engineered to combine the versatility of a forklift with the maneuverability of a walkie stacker. Rated for 3,000 lb loads at a maximum raised height of 189" (15.75 ft), it is purpose-built for contractors and trades professionals working in loading dock operations, stockrooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing environments. The unit ships complete with battery and charger, making it ready for immediate deployment on the job site.
Unlike conventional lead-acid walkie stackers, the EK14CS-189Li features a side-shifting mast and adjustable fork spread (8.6"–26"), giving operators the forklift-grade precision needed for tight pallet placement and load alignment without repositioning the entire machine. Robotic-welded steel construction and polyurethane wheels ensure durability across varied terrain, impacts, and directional changes common in active commercial environments.

Key Features & Benefits
Side-Shifting Mast
The integrated side-shift function allows operators to laterally adjust the forks and load without repositioning the entire machine. This is critical in tight aisle environments — such as stockrooms and loading docks — where precise pallet placement directly impacts throughput and reduces load damage risk.
Adjustable Fork Spread (8.6" – 26")
Fork spread adjustability across an 8.6" to 26" range accommodates a wide variety of pallet sizes and load configurations from a single machine. Contractors working across different jobsite supply chains benefit from not needing separate equipment for non-standard pallet widths.
189" Lithium-Powered Lift Height
A maximum raised height of 189" (15.75 ft) enables high-rack storage retrieval and multi-level warehousing tasks that exceed the reach of standard walkie stackers. The lithium power system supports consistent lift performance without the maintenance overhead of lead-acid batteries.
Curtis Controller with 24V AC Drive Motor
The industry-proven Curtis Controller paired with a 24V AC drive motor delivers precise, responsive speed control across varied load and terrain conditions. This combination helps operators maintain control during directional changes and on uneven surfaces common in active construction supply environments.
Synchronous Proportional Valve
The synchronous proportional valve provides smooth, controlled hydraulic lift and lowering, reducing jerk and improving load stability during placement. This is especially valuable when stacking at height where abrupt hydraulic movement could destabilize the load.
Robotic-Welded Steel Construction with Polyurethane Wheels
Robotic welding ensures consistent, high-strength weld quality throughout the frame, building in structural integrity for repeated heavy-load cycles. Polyurethane wheels protect floor surfaces while providing adequate traction and durability across the concrete and hard-surface floors typical of warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and operator control layout reduce fatigue during extended shift use, supporting productivity for trades professionals who operate the machine throughout a full workday.
Battery and Charger Included — 3-Year Limited Warranty
The EK14CS-189Li ships as a complete, ready-to-run package with lithium battery and charger included, eliminating additional procurement steps. The 3-year limited warranty provides contractor-grade assurance on a capital equipment investment.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The 3,000 lb capacity and side-shifting capability make the EK14CS-189Li effective for truck loading and unloading operations at loading docks, where precise pallet positioning within trailer widths is required.
Loading Dock Operations
The counterbalanced design allows the stacker to operate without straddle legs interfering with pallet entry, making it well-suited for dock-level material handling where clearance and maneuverability are constrained.
Stockroom Storage and Retrieval
With a 189" raised height and adjustable fork spread, the unit can service high-bay racking systems in stockrooms, enabling efficient vertical storage utilization without a full sit-down forklift.
Manufacturing Floor Material Handling
The machine's durable steel construction and polyurethane wheels handle the terrain variations, directional changes, and repeated load cycles typical of active manufacturing floor environments.
Warehousing Operations
The combination of side shifting, tilt (2°/5°), and high lift height supports the full range of pallet put-away and retrieval tasks in warehouse racking configurations.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wooden pallets (adjustable fork spread accommodates varying pallet widths)
- Plastic pallets
- Boxed and crated loads up to 3,000 lb
- Racked storage loads on hard-surface floors (concrete, sealed concrete, hard tile)
