EKKO EB13C-118Li Lithium Straddle Stacker — 2,800 lb Capacity Walkie Stacker with 118" Lift Height
The EKKO EB13C-118Li is a lithium-powered walkie straddle stacker engineered to combine the core functionality of a forklift, reach truck, and walkie stacker in a single compact unit. With a 2,800 lb load capacity and a raised height of 118", it is built for demanding material handling in loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehouse environments. The lithium battery system delivers reliable power for extended duty cycles without the maintenance overhead of lead-acid alternatives.
Unlike conventional lead-acid walkie stackers, the EB13C-118Li features a 24V/50Ah lithium battery paired with a Curtis Instrument Controller and DC Drive Motor, providing consistent performance and responsive handling. Adjustable forks (8.6"–32.1") and adjustable legs (35.4"–51.2") give operators the flexibility to handle a wide variety of pallet sizes and load configurations that fixed-geometry stackers cannot accommodate.

Key Features & Benefits
Lithium Battery Power (24V / 50Ah)
The lithium battery eliminates the watering, equalization charges, and acid spill risks associated with lead-acid units. For contractors running continuous shifts, this translates to reduced downtime and lower ongoing maintenance costs.
Curtis Instrument Controller
The Curtis Instrument Controller delivers precise drive and lift response, giving operators confident, predictable control during loading, unloading, and tight maneuvering. It is a proven industrial-grade control system used across the EKKO product line.
Adjustable Forks (8.6" – 32.1") and Adjustable Legs (35.4" – 51.2")
Wide fork and leg adjustment ranges allow the EB13C-118Li to accommodate different pallet widths and entry clearances without requiring a separate machine. This versatility is critical on mixed-use job sites and in warehouses handling non-standard pallets.
High-Quality Steel Construction
The unit is built from high-quality steel and components designed to withstand terrain variation, impact, and frequent directional changes. This durability makes it suitable for sustained use across manufacturing floors, loading docks, and stock rooms.
Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels provide low rolling resistance and floor protection, reducing surface marking on finished concrete and warehouse floors. They are well-suited for the smooth interior surfaces typical of loading docks and stock rooms.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and control layout reduce operator fatigue during extended use. For trades professionals moving material repeatedly throughout a shift, reduced fatigue directly supports productivity and safety.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The 2,800 lb capacity and 118" raised height make the EB13C-118Li capable of lifting full pallets to truck bed height for direct loading or unloading operations.
Loading Docks
Its straddle-leg design and adjustable legs allow it to navigate the confined, high-traffic conditions of loading dock areas where standard forklifts may not fit efficiently.
Stock Rooms
The walkie stacker format is well-suited to stock room aisles where a rider forklift would be impractical, providing 118" of lift to access upper racking positions.
Manufacturing Floors
Steel construction and durable drive components allow the unit to handle the directional changes and varied terrain common on active manufacturing floors.
Warehousing
Adjustable forks and legs let warehouse operators handle a variety of pallet configurations and racking setups from a single machine, reducing the need for multiple specialized units.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Plastic pallets
- Non-standard pallet widths (accommodated via 8.6"–32.1" fork adjustment)
- Smooth concrete flooring (loading docks, warehouses, manufacturing floors)
- Finished interior floor surfaces (polyurethane wheels minimize marking)
