Counterbalanced Electric Stackers

Counterbalanced electric stackers without support arms, able to serve closed pallets, containers and racking where straddle legs cannot reach.
4 products

How to choose

What it is for

  1. Stacker without straddle legs — handles closed-bottom pallets, loads vehicles from the side, works like a small forklift.
  2. Mixed pallet types, machine loading, containers.

Check before you choose

  • Capacity and load centre
  • Lift height
  • Longer chassis → aisle width
  • Rider option

Not suitable for

  • Very narrow aisles

What we will ask you before recommending a model

Counterbalanced electric stacker Technical check — we confirm a few parameters and compatibility with you before the order.
  1. Heaviest load including pallet, packaging and any attachment? Rule of thumb: use at most 80 % of rated capacity for safety and service life.
  2. Dimensions (L×W×H) of the largest and of the heaviest load? Is the centre of gravity known and centred? The load centre moves away from the mast as the load gets longer; real capacity falls with load-centre distance and lift height (capacity diagram). Tall loads raise the COG.
  3. Is the load always on a EUR pallet (open bottom)? Or CHEP / closed-bottom / plastic pallets, boxes, or goods placed directly on the forks? Dimensions of the pallet underside? Forks with support legs underneath need an open-bottom pallet. Goods without a pallet load the forks at points and bend them. Pallet compatibility matters more than capacity.
  4. How high must the load be lifted — top rack beam, vehicle bed, machine table? How many rack levels? Capacity at maximum height is much lower than nominal (residual capacity). Customers know 'the rack', not millimetres — ask them to measure the top beam.
  5. Lowest passage in the working area (doors, beams, pipes, mezzanine, container, lift)? Ceiling height where stacking happens? Lowered mast height must pass every obstacle; extended mast must fit under ceiling, lighting and sprinklers.
  6. Aisle width between racks and the narrowest passage / door? Every truck has a stacking-aisle width (Ast). Compare with Ast, not with the truck width.
  7. What is the floor: industrial concrete, asphalt, paving, gravel, uneven, potholes, sharp edges, expansion joints, thresholds, drains? Small polyurethane wheels and no suspension: tolerance for unevenness is very low. Sharp edges cut the PU tread; gaps stop the small load rollers.
  8. Are there gradients (ramps, slopes) in the working area? How steep (%) and how long (m)? Pedestrian and stand-on trucks are designed for level floors; motor, brakes and drive-wheel traction are sized for occasional short ramps. On a long or steep slope they overheat, lose traction or cannot hold the load.
  9. How long must the truck run continuously, how many hours per day and shifts? Pallets per hour, distance per trip? Battery capacity and truck class follow from this. Most buyers under-specify on price and end up with a truck that stops mid-shift.

Typical mistakes to avoid

  • No support legs but a longer chassis; residual capacity and stability remain decisive.

Counterbalanced electric stackers

No straddle legs — that is the whole point: a counterweight inside the chassis balances the load, so the forks reach closed pallets, containers, machines and racking bottoms that leg-type stackers physically cannot serve. The range covers the EVVP15-P rider (1500 kg, up to 5600 mm), the walkie EVVP15H/EVVP05H and reach versions (also as rider) whose forks extend forward for double-deep placement.

If your pallets are open Euro type, a standard stacker is cheaper for the same lift; at the heavier end the next step is an electric forklift. Contact us with your pallet and load details and we will confirm the model.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need a counterbalanced stacker?

Whenever support legs are in the way: closed or bottom-boarded pallets, containers and stillages, picking up from floor level machines, or racking whose lowest beam leaves no room for legs. The counterweight replaces the legs' function.

What is the reach version for?

The fork carriage extends forward, so the stacker places pallets double-deep or reaches over obstacles while the chassis stays in the aisle — a compact alternative to a reach truck for moderate heights.
