Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker - Double Mast with Lead-Acid

EKKO EK14C-130 Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker — 3,000 lb Capacity with 130" Lift Height

The EKKO EK14C-130 Fully Powered Counterbalanced Walkie Stacker is a heavy-duty material handling unit engineered to combine the versatility of a forklift with the maneuverability of a walkie stacker. Designed for contractors and warehouse professionals, it delivers a 3,000 lb load capacity and a raised height of 130" (10.83 ft), making it well-suited for high-reach stacking tasks. Its counterbalanced design eliminates the need for outrigger legs, enabling operation in tighter spaces and across a wider range of load types.

Unlike standard walkie stackers that require straddle legs, the EK14C-130's counterbalanced configuration allows it to handle pallets and loads the same way a sit-down forklift would, expanding its usability across loading docks, manufacturing floors, and stockrooms. It is built from high-quality steel using robotic welding and comes with both battery and charger included, reducing out-of-box setup time.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

Counterbalanced Design

The counterbalanced configuration removes the need for straddle legs, allowing the stacker to handle standard pallets without requiring the load to sit between outrigger arms. This expands load compatibility and allows the machine to operate more like a conventional forklift in tight or cluttered job site environments.

Curtis Controller with 24V AC Drive Motor

The German-built AC drive motor paired with the Curtis Controller delivers responsive, programmable drive performance and reliable torque management. AC motor technology generally offers lower maintenance requirements compared to DC drive systems, reducing downtime over the machine's service life.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS)

EPS reduces operator fatigue during extended shifts by providing power-assisted steering without the mechanical resistance of a traditional steering system. For contractors running high-cycle operations in warehouses or on manufacturing floors, this translates to more consistent, controlled maneuvering throughout the workday.

Adjustable Forks (8.7" – 26")

The fork width adjusts across a range of 8.7" to 26", enabling compatibility with a wide variety of pallet sizes and load configurations. This adjustability reduces the need for multiple attachments or separate machines when handling different materials on the same job.

Robotic-Welded Steel Construction

The frame is fabricated from high-quality steel using robotic welding, which produces consistent, high-integrity weld joints throughout the structure. This construction method is built to withstand impact, directional changes, and varied terrain conditions encountered in active job site environments.

Ergonomic Handle and Controls

The ergonomic handle and controls are designed to position the operator comfortably during both travel and lift operations. Intuitive control placement supports efficient operation and helps reduce errors in high-throughput environments.

Common Applications

Loading and Unloading Trucks

The counterbalanced design and 3,000 lb capacity make the EK14C-130 well-suited for moving palletized loads on and off trucks at loading docks without the clearance constraints of straddle-leg machines.

Loading Dock Operations

The unit's forklift-style load handling allows it to work directly at dock height, staging and transferring freight efficiently between transport vehicles and warehouse storage areas.

Stockroom Management

With a raised height of 130" and adjustable forks, the EK14C-130 can reach upper storage levels in stockrooms, enabling vertical space utilization in environments with limited floor area.

Manufacturing Floors

The machine's durable polyurethane wheels and robust steel construction allow it to handle repeated use across manufacturing floor surfaces, including movement of production materials and finished goods between workstations.

Warehousing

In warehouse settings, the EK14C-130 supports high-cycle stacking and retrieval operations with its powered lift and drive system, reducing reliance on manual labor for vertical storage tasks.

Compatible Materials

• Standard wood pallets
• Plastic pallets
• Palletized boxed goods
• Palletized bagged materials
• Palletized construction supplies
• Palletized manufactured components

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the EK14C-130 come with a battery and charger?
A: Yes. Both a 24V/210Ah battery and a charger are included with the unit.

Q: What is the maximum lift height of the EK14C-130?
A: The EK14C-130 raises loads to a maximum height of 130" (10.83 ft).

Q: Can the forks be adjusted for different pallet widths?
A: Yes. The forks are adjustable from 8.7" to 26" to accommodate different pallet sizes and load configurations.

Q: How does the counterbalanced design differ from a standard straddle stacker?
A: A counterbalanced stacker uses a weighted rear counterbalance to stabilize the load instead of straddle outrigger legs, allowing it to handle standard pallets directly — similar to a conventional forklift — without requiring the load to fit between outrigger arms.

Q: What type of drive motor does the EK14C-130 use?
A: The unit is equipped with a 24V German-built AC drive motor paired with a Curtis Controller for drive and lift functions.
