A counterbalanced stacker is a type of material handling equipment used in warehouses and storage facilities for lifting, transporting, and stacking pallets and goods. Unlike other stackers, it features a counterbalance weight at the rear, eliminating the need for support legs in the front. This design allows the stacker to approach loads directly, similar to a forklift, making it ideal for areas where base legs may obstruct the operation or where the equipment needs to extend into racks or onto palletized loads. Counterbalanced stackers are typically used for medium-duty applications, offering flexibility and maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. They are often electrically powered, providing an efficient and environmentally friendly option for various material handling tasks.
