Powered Stacker Ideal for Tight Spaces

ATTLEBORO, MA - The versatile, fully powered PowerStak(TM) Counterbalance Stacker from Presto Lifts Inc. works with any style pallet or skid and is ideal for servicing racks, loading/unloading trucks, feeding machinery, and other applications where straddle legs could get in the way.

With a load capacity of 1100 pounds, a load center of 15", and a lift height of 62", the unit has a short yet stable wheel base to maximize maneuverability in tight quarters on uneven floors and ramps. The tilt of the mast is adjustable. Overall height is 82", overall width 32". The forks are each 3" wide and 30" long.

The PowerStak Counterbalance Stacker is loaded with ergonomic features. The ergonomically designed handle puts all controls within easy reach for maximum operator comfort and convenience. Forward- and reverse-drive "thumb" switches are located on both sides of the handle to accommodate left-hand or right-hand operation. An auto-reversing "belly bump" switch protects operators from potential injury when walking the unit backwards, while an automatic brake immediately halts travel when the stacker is reversed. The polyurethane drive wheel is fully shrouded to protect the operator's feet.

Power is achieved via two maintenance-free 12-volt batteries. A 110-volt built-in charge is also a standard feature. Options include load backrests, a deep-cycle battery, and forged forks.
