Straddle Leg Stackers, Powered Lift, Manual Drive
Straddle Leg Stackers, Powered Lift, Manual Drive & Flexible Pallet Access
Straddle leg stackers with powered lift and manual drive are a high-value alternative to a forklift for light-to-medium material handling, especially where space is tight and flexibility matters. The straddle leg design allows the stacker to position around loads and handle a wider variety of pallet styles, including closed-bottom pallets, without requiring an open bottom.
Because lifting is powered, operators get smoother, more controlled vertical movement with less physical strain. And since driving is manual, these stackers stay simple, cost-effective, and easy to use in narrow aisles, backrooms, and confined work zones where forklifts struggle or don't make sense.
Product Lines:
Logitrans ELFS-1001 (35"-128" lift, 2,200 lb) and ELFS-1201 (35"-62" lift, 3,000 lb, the highest capacity in the lineup); Lift Products MXEM (up to 116" lift, 2,200 lb); Presto-Lifts WPS (up to 60" lift, 3,000 lb), PS-Series (up to 144" lift, the tallest reach in the lineup, 2,700 lb), and B800 Series (up to 127" lift, 2,000 lb); and Wesco straddle stackers in two capacities (up to 86" lift at 2,000 lb, or up to 66" lift at 1,000 lb).
Selecting the Right Model:
♦ Lift height: choose from 60" up to 144" based on the highest working height your task requires.
♦ Capacity, ranging from 1,000 up to 3,000 lb across these lines; select based on the heaviest load handled regularly.
♦ Pallet type: The straddle leg design accommodates closed-bottom pallets that don't require an open bottom for wheel clearance.
Where Commonly Used:
Straddle leg stackers are used in narrow aisles and confined zones where the compact design maneuvers past forklift limitations, in backrooms and storage areas where manual drive keeps operation simple and cost-effective, in closed-bottom pallet handling where straddle legs position around loads without requiring an open bottom, and in light to medium material handling where powered lift reduces physical strain during repetitive lifting.

Buying Guide
Straddle legs exist because the outrigger legs extend around the load rather than under it, which is why this design handles closed-bottom pallets that a fork-over stacker physically cannot engage. Our Mobile Lift Equipment & Stackers guide covers the trade-offs between straddle, fork-over, and counterbalance base geometry in detail. |
