No straddle legs, no pallet restrictions. Handle double-face, single-face, and non-standard pallets with ease in narrow warehouse aisles.
The Counterbalanced Stacker (also known as counterbalance pallet stacker or legless electric stacker) is a revolutionary material handling solution that eliminates the front legs found on conventional stackers. Instead, it uses a counterweight design integrated into the chassis to maintain stability, allowing it to handle any pallet type – including double-face pallets, single-face pallets, and non-standard pallets that cannot be used with straddle stackers .
Capacities from 1000kg to 1500kg, lifting heights up to 3500mm. Perfect for warehouses, loading docks, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers where pallet variety demands flexibility.
Traditional straddle stackers require the legs to straddle the pallet – this only works with single-face pallets. The counterbalanced stacker has no front legs, giving you unrestricted access to double-face pallets, block pallets, and any other pallet design .
Despite the counterweight design, modern counterbalanced stackers feature a compact footprint with tight turning radii, allowing operation in aisles as narrow as 2.8-3.1 meters .
Choose pedestrian-controlled walkie model for short-distance operations, or stand-on version with foldable platform for longer travel distances, reducing operator fatigue .
Full electric operation with AC drive motor provides smooth acceleration, regenerative braking, and energy recovery – reducing power consumption by up to 30% compared to DC systems .
The integrated counterweight in the chassis provides stability during lifting and travel, eliminating the need for protruding front legs. This design breakthrough allows the stacker to work with all pallet types, including double-face pallets that cannot be used with straddle stackers .
