Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker with Side-Shifting - 130" Lift Height

EKKO EK14S-130 Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker with Side-Shifting — 3,300 lb Capacity, 130" Lift Height

The EKKO EK14S-130 is a fully powered counterbalanced walkie stacker equipped with 4-inch side-shifting capability, designed to combine the maneuverability of a walkie stacker with the load-handling versatility of a forklift. Built for contractors and trades professionals operating in warehouses, manufacturing floors, stockrooms, and loading docks, it handles loads up to 3,300 lb at a 24-inch load center and lifts to a maximum height of 130 inches (10.83 ft). The unit ships with both battery and charger included, allowing immediate deployment on site.

Unlike standard walkie stackers, the EK14S-130 features a counterbalanced design that eliminates the need for straddle legs, enabling operation in tighter aisles and around standard pallet configurations. The addition of Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and a Curtis Instrument AC controller differentiates it from DC-driven alternatives by delivering consistent travel speed regardless of load and providing accurate battery discharge monitoring.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

4-Inch Side-Shifting Forks

The integrated side-shift function allows operators to laterally reposition the fork carriage up to 4 inches without repositioning the entire machine. This is critical on loading docks and in tight storage aisles where precise pallet alignment would otherwise require multiple drive corrections, reducing cycle time and operator fatigue.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS)

The 24V / 200W EPS steering motor reduces the physical effort required to maneuver the unit, particularly during repetitive dock work or long warehouse shifts. Steering, tilt, lifting, lowering, and horn functions are all integrated into the ergonomic handle for single-point operator control.

Curtis Instrument AC Controller

The Curtis AC controller delivers consistent travel speed across the full load range and includes a battery discharge indicator so operators always know remaining run time. The German ZF AC drive motor produces high torque for efficient performance on gradients up to 6% laden and 10% unladen.

Adjustable Forks (8.6–28.3 in Width)

Fork spacing adjusts from 8.6 to 28.3 inches, accommodating a wide range of pallet sizes and load configurations without requiring a separate attachment. Combined with the 2°/5° forward/backward tilt, operators can secure and stabilize loads across varied terrain and racking conditions.

Robotic-Welded Steel Construction with I-Beam Telescoping Mast

The heavy-duty steel chassis is fabricated using robotic welding for consistent weld quality and structural integrity under repeated heavy-load cycles. The I-beam telescoping mast provides rigidity at full extension while the 84-inch lowered mast height allows the unit to pass through standard doorways and into confined storage areas.

Electromagnetic Braking with Belly Button Reverse Safety

Electromagnetic brakes provide secure stopping power, and electronic neutral braking delivers accurate deceleration control. The belly button reverse safety feature on the handle automatically stops and reverses the unit if the operator is pushed against an obstacle, reducing the risk of injury during congested site operations.

Battery and Charger Included

The 24V / 210Ah industrial battery and 24V / 30A automatic charger ship with the unit, eliminating the need for a separate charging infrastructure purchase. The side-mounted battery configuration and standard 110VAC plug-in charger simplify integration into existing job site electrical setups.

Common Applications

Loading and Unloading Trucks

With a 3,300 lb capacity, 45.3-inch forks, and side-shifting capability, the EK14S-130 is well suited for loading dock operations where precise pallet placement into truck beds is required without repeatedly repositioning the machine.

Warehouse Racking and Storage

The 130-inch lift height and adjustable fork width allow operators to place and retrieve pallets in standard racking systems. The telescoping mast lowers to 84 inches for travel through standard overhead clearances.

Manufacturing Floor Material Handling

The compact 39-inch overall width and 57-inch turning radius make the EK14S-130 operable in the tighter aisle configurations typical of manufacturing environments, moving raw materials and finished goods between production stations.

Stockroom Operations

In stockroom environments where floor space is limited, the counterbalanced design eliminates outrigger legs that would otherwise restrict pallet access, allowing the unit to pick standard pallets directly from floor-level storage.

Loading Dock Staging

The unit's gradeability of 6% laden and 10% unladen allows it to navigate dock levelers and ramps commonly found at loading dock facilities without loss of traction or control.

Compatible Materials

• Standard wood pallets
• Plastic pallets
• Metal skids and platforms
• Boxed and crated goods
• Bagged bulk materials (on pallets)
• Racked storage loads up to 3,300 lb at 24-inch load center

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the EK14S-130 come with the battery and charger, or are those purchased separately?
A: Both the 24V / 210Ah industrial battery and the 24V / 30A automatic charger are included with the unit. The charger uses a standard 110VAC plug-in connection.

Q: What is the maximum lift height of the EK14S-130?
A: The unit lifts to a maximum height of 130 inches (10.83 ft). The mast lowers to 84 inches for travel and extends to a full height of 167 inches at maximum elevation.

Q: How much does the side-shift move the forks?
A: The side-shift carriage moves the forks laterally up to 4 inches, allowing precise load positioning without repositioning the entire machine.

Q: What type of wheels does the EK14S-130 use?
A: The unit is equipped with polyurethane wheels — 10 in × 2.75 in drive wheels and (2) 9.5 in × 4.75 in load wheels — suitable for smooth concrete and warehouse flooring.

Q: Can this unit handle ramps and dock levelers?
A: Yes. The EK14S-130 is rated for a maximum gradient of 6% when laden and 10% when unladen, which covers standard dock leveler and ramp grades.

Q: What safety features are built into the operator handle?
A: The ergonomic handle integrates EPS steering, tilt, lifting, lowering, and horn controls. It also includes a belly button reverse safety feature that automatically stops and reverses the unit if the operator is pushed against an obstacle.
