Counterbalance Powered Stacker

Counterbalance Powered Stackers, Battery Powered & Hand Winch Options

 

Counterbalance stackers use a weighted base instead of outrigger legs to balance the load, so no legs extend forward or straddle the pallet. That design lets the stacker work in tighter aisles and around obstacles where a straddle-leg or fork-leg stacker wouldn't fit, without sacrificing lifting capacity for lighter to moderate loads.

CustomMHS offers both battery-powered and manual hand winch counterbalance stackers from Presto Lifts and Wesco, covering capacities from 200 up to 2,200 pounds.

Models and Specifications:

♦ Presto Lifts Battery Powered Lift Stackers, 200-1,000 lb capacity.
♦ Wesco Battery Powered Lift Stackers, 1,000 lb capacity.
♦ Wesco Counterbalance Hand Winch Lifters, 350-500 lb capacity.
♦ Presto Lifts Fully PowerStak Stackers, 1,100 lb capacity.
♦ Wesco Fully Powered Counterbalance Stacker, 2,200 lb capacity.

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Power source: choose Battery Powered or Fully Powered for reduced operator effort, or Hand Winch for lower-cost manual operation.
♦ Capacity, ranging from 200 up to 2,200 lb across these lines, select based on the heaviest load handled regularly.
♦ Aisle clearance: the counterbalanced, no-outrigger design suits tighter aisles and obstacle-heavy layouts.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Tight Aisles and Confined Spaces, the no-outrigger design maneuvers where straddle-leg stackers can't fit.
♦ Light to Moderate Load Handling, capacities from 200 up to 2,200 lb cover most everyday stacking tasks.
♦ Retail Stockrooms and Small Warehouses, compact counterbalance stackers suit lower-volume lifting needs.
♦ Cost-Conscious Facility Rollouts: Hand Winch models offer a lower-cost manual alternative to powered stackers.

CustomMHS carries the full line of Presto Lifts and Wesco counterbalance stackers, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a counterbalance stacker?
A counterbalance stacker uses a weighted base to offset the load instead of outrigger legs that extend forward or straddle the pallet. With nothing projecting past the mast at floor level, the unit turns in tighter spaces and works up close to walls, racking, and equipment that would block a straddle-leg design. CustomMHS carries the full line of Presto Lifts and Wesco counterbalance stackers, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.
How does a counterbalance stacker differ from a straddle-leg stacker?
The difference is where the stability comes from. A straddle-leg or fork-leg stacker gets its balance from legs that extend under or around the load, which works well but requires floor clearance the legs can occupy. A counterbalance design puts that weight in the base of the machine instead, so the footprint stays compact. The tradeoff is capacity, since counterbalance units in this lineup top out at 2,200 pounds, while straddle designs carry more.
What capacities and power options are available?
Capacity spans 200 to 2,200 pounds across five model lines. Presto Lifts battery-powered stackers cover 200 to 1,000 pounds, Wesco battery-powered stackers are rated at 1,000 pounds, and Presto Lifts Fully PowerStak stackers at 1,100 pounds. The Wesco fully powered counterbalance stacker carries the highest rating at 2,200 pounds. Wesco counterbalance hand winch lifters handle 350 to 500 pounds using manual operation.
When does a hand winch model make sense?
Hand winch lifters are the lower-cost option and suit lighter loads that are lifted occasionally rather than continuously. If a location handles a few lifts per shift within the 350 to 500 pound range, the manual model does the work without the cost of a battery system and without a charging routine to manage. For repetitive daily lifting, battery-powered or fully powered models remove the operator effort that would otherwise accumulate across a shift.
How do counterbalance stackers help your facility?
The clearest gain is putting lifting capability into areas that cannot accommodate other equipment, including tight aisles, crowded stockrooms, and layouts where fixed obstacles limit approach angles. That removes manual lifting from exactly the spots where it tends to persist because nothing else fits, which addresses a common source of back and shoulder injuries. Compact footprints also suit retail stockrooms and smaller warehouses where lift volume does not justify a forklift, and hand winch models let a facility roll out lifting equipment across multiple locations at a lower cost per station before committing to powered units everywhere.
