What Makes a Good Counterbalance Stacker?

What Makes a Good Counterbalance Stacker?

A counterbalanced stacker is a material handling machine designed for lifting heavy loads in tight spaces. Different with standard stackers, it uses a rear counterbalance weight for added stability instead of legs, offering better maneuverability in confined areas and suitable for most pallets.

 

A good counterbalanced stacker combines stability, maneuverability, and ease of operation, making it a reliable choice for efficient material handling in challenging environments.

A-3048 Counterbalanced Stacker offers a powerful and efficient solution for material handling in compact areas, with superior maneuverability and stability.

Powerful Performance and Reliable Capacity

  • Lifting height: 118 inches
  • Rated load capacity: 3300 lbs
  • Sealed, maintenance-free 24V/125Ah GEL battery
  • Strong gradeability: Loaded/unloaded: 5/10

Superior Maneuverability and Stability in Confined Spaces

  • No fixed front legs allow forks to access low-clearance loads, enabling easy entry into tight spaces for stacking various palletized goods.
  • Three-point support structure with two load-bearing front wheels and a rear drive wheel ensures stability and smooth movement on different surfaces.
  • Low center of gravity (35mm ground clearance) and long handle design provide excellent stability and maneuverability in narrow indoor environments,  fully compliant with EU safety standards.

Optimized Design for Efficiency and Maintenance

  • Tilting Mast for Precision:The standard mast features a forward tilt of 1° and a backward tilt of 3°, facilitating smooth loading, unloading, and stacking operations with enhanced control.
  • Durable Vertical Drive Wheel:The elevated motor design prevents exposure to oil and water, prolonging its lifespan. The motor-wheel separation ensures higher driving efficiency and simplifies installation and maintenance, unlike common under-mounted designs in the market.
  • Convenient Battery Access:The battery cover opens easily, and side screws allow quick removal, enabling hassle-free battery replacement and maintenance for uninterrupted operation.

 

  • Modular Electrical System:With 90% of components integrated, the modular design simplifies maintenance and repair, reducing downtime and ensuring operational efficiency.

Advanced Features for Safety and Efficiency

  1. Built-in Charger for Convenient Charging:The stacker is equipped with an integrated charger, making charging easier and more convenient.
  2. Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI):The meter with BDI helps monitor battery usage, extending its lifespan by ensuring optimal charging and discharging cycles.
  3. Safety Relief Valve in Hydraulic Cylinder:The built-in explosion-proof valve prevents freefall of the load in case of hydraulic hose rupture, ensuring operator safety.
  4. Enhanced Braking System:The combination of magnetic and regenerative braking systems significantly extends the lifespan of the friction plates, improving overall braking performance.
