Lithium Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker with Side-Shifting - 3,300 lb Capacity at 189" Lift Height

EKKO EK14S-189Li Lithium Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker with Side-Shifting — 3,300 lb Capacity at 189" Lift Height

The EKKO EK14S-189Li is a lithium-powered counterbalanced walkie stacker engineered to combine the versatility of a forklift with the maneuverability of a walkie stacker. With a 3,300 lb load capacity and a raised height of 189 inches (15.75 ft), it is purpose-built for contractors and warehouse professionals who need reliable, high-reach material handling in demanding environments. It is ideal for loading and unloading trucks, loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing operations.

Unlike lead-acid alternatives, the EK14S-189Li ships with a lithium battery and charger included, reducing downtime and maintenance overhead. The addition of side-shifting forks and adjustable fork width (8.6"–28.3") gives operators the flexibility to handle varied pallet sizes and precise load placement without repositioning the entire unit.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

Side-Shifting Forks

The integrated side-shift function allows operators to laterally reposition the forks without moving the entire stacker, enabling precise pallet placement in tight rack bays or on truck beds. This directly reduces cycle times and minimizes the risk of rack or load damage during placement.

Adjustable Fork Width (8.6" – 28.3")

The wide range of fork width adjustment accommodates varied pallet sizes and non-standard load footprints. Contractors working across multiple job sites or warehouse configurations benefit from not needing a separate attachment or machine for different pallet types.

Lithium Battery — Included

The unit ships with a lithium battery and charger, eliminating the lead-acid maintenance cycle of watering, equalizing, and corrosion management. Lithium chemistry also supports opportunity charging, keeping the machine productive across extended shifts.

Curtis Controller with 24V AC Drive Motor

The Curtis Instrument controller delivers consistent travel speed across the full speed range regardless of load weight, and includes a battery discharge indicator gauge. The 24V AC drive motor pairs with Electronic Power Steering (EPS) for efficient, responsive control in confined spaces.

Electromagnetic and Electronic Neutral Braking

Electromagnetic braking provides secure stopping power, while electronic neutral braking gives operators accurate control when transitioning between travel directions. The belly-button reverse safety feature stops and reverses the unit automatically to prevent collision or operator injury.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction with Robotic Welding

The chassis is built from heavy-duty steel with an I-beam mast and manufactured using robotic welding for consistent weld quality and structural integrity. This construction is designed to withstand the impact, directional changes, and varied terrain typical of active job sites and warehouse floors.

Ergonomic Handle and Operator Controls

EPS, tilt, lifting, lowering, and horn functions are all integrated into the ergonomic handle, keeping all critical controls within reach without requiring the operator to reposition their hands. This layout reduces operator fatigue during extended use.

Common Applications

Truck Loading and Unloading

The counterbalanced design and 3,300 lb capacity make this stacker well-suited for loading and unloading trucks at loading docks, handling full pallet loads without requiring outrigger legs that can interfere with truck floor clearance.

Warehousing and High-Rack Storage

With a raised height of 189 inches (15.75 ft), the EK14S-189Li reaches upper rack levels typical of standard warehouse racking systems, making it practical for high-bay storage and retrieval operations.

Stock Rooms

The compact walkie configuration and 57-inch turning radius allow the unit to operate in stock room environments where full-size forklifts cannot maneuver, while still delivering forklift-level load capacity.

Manufacturing Floors

On manufacturing floors where materials need to be moved between production stations and storage areas, the EK14S-189Li provides a durable, maneuverable solution capable of handling heavy component pallets.

Loading Dock Operations

The stacker's travel speed (up to 3.7 mph empty) and side-shift capability make it efficient for dock-side operations where quick, precise load placement is required to maintain throughput.

Compatible Materials

• Standard wood pallets
• Plastic pallets
• Varied pallet footprints (adjustable fork width 8.6" – 28.3")
• Polyurethane wheel-compatible smooth and hard warehouse flooring
• Loading dock surfaces
• Manufacturing floor surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the battery and charger included with purchase?
A: Yes. The EK14S-189Li includes both the lithium battery and charger in the box — no separate purchase required.

Q: What is the maximum lift height of this stacker?
A: The raised height is 189 inches (15.75 ft), making it suitable for high-bay rack storage typical of commercial warehousing.

Q: Does the unit include side-shifting capability?
A: Yes. Side-shifting is a standard feature on the EK14S-189Li, allowing lateral fork repositioning without moving the entire machine.

Q: What type of steering does this stacker use?
A: The unit is equipped with EPS (Electronic Power Steering), which reduces steering effort and improves control in confined spaces.

Q: What safety features are included?
A: The stacker features electromagnetic braking, electronic neutral braking, and a belly-button reverse safety feature that automatically stops and reverses the unit to prevent collision or operator injury.

Q: What is the warranty on this unit?
A: The EK14S-189Li carries a 3 Years Limited Warranty.
