What is the difference between a counterbalance and a straddle walkie stacker?

A counterbalance walkie stacker uses a weighted base rather than front straddle legs, leaving the fork area open. This lets it handle closed-bottom pallets, stillages, and oversized loads that straddle legs would block. Straddle stackers cost less but require standard open-bottom pallets to fit their legs.

Can a walkie stacker reach closed-bottom pallets?

Yes. Counterbalanced walkie stackers have no front straddle legs, so the forks approach closed-bottom pallets, drums, and machine bases directly. This is the main reason to choose a counterbalance design over a straddle stacker when your loads don't sit on standard open-bottom pallets.

What lift heights and capacities are available in this collection?

Lift heights run from 118" up to 189", and capacities reach 4,409 lb on the Eoslift LR20 reach stacker. Most EKKO and GNT walkie stackers carry 3,000–3,300 lb. Each listing shows its verified lift height and rated capacity so you can match the machine to your racking.

Are these stackers covered by warranty and how do they ship?

Every unit includes the manufacturer warranty stated on its product page and ships by insured LTL freight. Pricing in this collection runs $10,638 to $23,749. Call +1 (307) 441-5529 for help sizing a model to your lift height, capacity, and shift requirements before you order.

How to Choose a Counterbalance Walkie Stacker

What is a counterbalanced walkie stacker?

A counterbalanced walkie stacker is a pedestrian-operated electric lift that uses a weighted base instead of front straddle legs to balance the load. That open-front design lets the forks reach closed-bottom pallets, stillages, and bulky loads a straddle stacker's legs would block, while the operator walks behind at ground level.

Do you need lithium or standard power?

Choose lithium if you run multi-shift operations or want opportunity charging with no battery watering — models like the EKKO EK14CS-130Li and GNT G33CBS-189LI use lithium packs. Standard-battery units such as the EKKO EK07S keep upfront cost lower, starting at $10,638, for single-shift or lighter-duty use.

How much lift height and capacity should you get?

Match the machine to your top beam and heaviest pallet. This collection spans lift heights from 118" up to 189" and capacities through 4,409 lb on the Eoslift LR20 reach stacker. Size for the load you actually lift at full height, not just the rated floor capacity, and call +1 (307) 441-5529 if you're between models.

Do you need side-shift?

Add side-shift if you place loads in tight racking or line up pallets without repositioning the whole truck. Models like the EKKO EK14S-130Li and EK14CS-189Li let the forks move laterally, saving maneuvering time in narrow aisles and speeding accurate load placement.
