Wesco Counterbalance Powered Stacker

The Wesco Counterbalance Powered Stacker is a battery-electric stacker designed for precise lifting and controlled placement of dies, heavy components, tooling, and equipment in industrial environments where standard pallet stackers are not appropriate. The 13" load centers distinguish this unit from pallet stackers (which typically use 24" load centers) and confirm it is sized for compact, dense loads rather than standard GMA pallets.

Remote control, floor lock, and safety screen are standard on all three models. A 3-light LED charge status indicator and an illuminated battery voltmeter provide continuous battery monitoring. These units can be operated while recharging, even at minimal charge, keeping production and maintenance operations running without interruption. Forks are 25" standard with a 30" option available. ASME B56.10 compliant.

Important: these are counterbalance units. Counterweights are not included and must be ordered separately and installed before use. Operating without appropriate counterweights is unsafe and will void the warranty.

Models and Specifications:

♦ 261037, 25" standard forks (30" optional). Load centers 13". Raised height 56". Capacity up to 1,000 lb (confirm 850 lb vs. 1,000 lb rating with Wesco before publishing). Remote control, floor lock, and safety screen standard. 3-light LED charge indicator, illuminated battery voltmeter. Operates while charging. ASME B56.10. Counterweights not included.
♦ 261038, 25" standard forks (30" optional). Load centers 13". Raised height 64". Same specifications as 261037, with a greater raised height. Counterweights not included.
♦ 261039, 25" standard forks (30" optional). Load centers 13". Raised height 76". Same specification as 261037 at the greatest raised height. Counterweights not included.

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Raised height, 56", 64", or 76", select based on the highest position the load must reach: die storage rack height, machine bed height, or work positioning height. All three models are otherwise identical in specification.
♦ Counterweight requirement: these units require counterweights to operate safely. The appropriate counterweight depends on the load weight and the lift height at which the load is handled. Contact CustomMHS at 866-333-0728 before ordering to confirm the correct counterweight kit.
♦ 13" load centers and load type, designed for compact, concentrated loads such as stamping dies, molds, tooling fixtures, and heavy components. Standard GMA pallets at 24" load centers are not intended for this application.
♦ 25" vs. 30" forks: The standard 25" fork length covers most die and tooling load depths. The 30" fork option provides additional depth for larger tooling or components that would extend beyond a 25" fork.
♦ Wesco counterbalance vs. Presto CW Series, the Presto CW Series is also a counterweight stacker without straddle legs, covering 200-1,000 lb at 62" or 74" heights. The Wesco counterbalance models use 13" load centers specifically for dies and tooling, while the Presto CW Series covers a broader range of bin, component, and equipment lifting tasks.

Where Commonly Used:

Metal stamping and fabrication operations use the Wesco counterbalance stacker to move stamping dies between storage positions and press beds; plastic injection molding and machining operations use it to move molds and tooling fixtures between storage and production equipment; maintenance departments use the remote control and floor lock to position heavy components at machine service heights; and operations staging dense, compact heavy components use it for controlled electric-powered transport at the 13" load center dimension.
