Presto CW Series Counterweight Stackers

Presto Lifts Counterweight Stackers

Presto CW Series Counterweight Stackers, No-Straddle-Leg Access, 200-1,000 lb

Presto CW Series Counterweight Stackers eliminate straddle legs entirely, using Presto's stacking ballast system to provide stability without front legs extending under the load. This gives clean, unobstructed access to pallet rack bottom bars, closed-bottom containers, van and truck floors, and any application where straddle legs would physically prevent entry or require repositioning of the load first.

All CW models lower to 1", practically flat to the floor, making them suited for loads sitting directly on the floor or vehicle bed with no pallet gap clearance. The unit is 27" wide and 36" long. Capacity ranges from 200 to 1,000 lb. Two raised height options: 62" (C62A series) and 74" (C74A series).


Models and Specifications:

♦ C62A-Series, 27" W x 36" L, 62" raised height, 1" lowered height. Available in 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 lb capacity.
♦ C74A-Series, 27" W x 36" L, 74" raised height, 1" lowered height. Available in 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 lb capacity.
♦ C62A-15LC and C74A-15LC, 1,000 lb capacity,


Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Counterweight vs. straddle-leg stacker: the fundamental reason to choose the CW Series is the absence of straddle legs. Every other walkie stacker in the CustomMHS catalog uses straddle legs that extend forward under the load and require pallet or container entry openings. The CW Series accesses loads sitting on solid surfaces or in vehicles with low floor clearance without modification. If the application doesn't require straddle-leg-free access, a straddle stacker at the same capacity will likely be more cost-effective.
♦ Capacity, 200, 400, 600, 800, or 1,000 lb, select based on the maximum expected load weight. The CW Series is most commonly used for lighter-duty bin, carton, component, and equipment lifting tasks, not standard full-pallet weights of 2,000+ lb.
♦ Raised height, 62" or 74", select based on the highest lifting position needed. The model number prefix indicates the raised height.
♦ Lowered height, 1", allows the forks to slide under loads sitting at floor level or on van and truck bed floors with minimal clearance, significantly lower than standard straddle stackers and part of why CW stackers suit vehicle loading applications.


Where Commonly Used:

Warehouse and distribution operations use the CW Series to service rack positions where bottom bars prevent straddle legs from fitting, van and truck loading operations use it for electric-lift loading at vehicle floor level, production and stockroom operations use the compact 27"x36" footprint for lifting bins and cartons in confined work cell areas, and operations handling closed-bottom containers or solid-base pallets use the CW Series as the only counterweight stacker option that can approach these loads without straddle leg interference.

Buying Guide

This is exactly the counterbalance tradeoff our Mobile Lift Equipment & Stackers guide describes: no outrigger legs to fit under or around your load, at the cost of a lower capacity ceiling than a similar-size straddle unit. The guide covers when that tradeoff is worth it and when straddle legs would give you more capacity for the money.
