Power is provided by the included lead-acid batteries which is the most power efficient design possible since the electric motors are only in use while the counterbalance forklift is actually moving. Other than a manual pallet stacker, this is the most energy efficient type of forklift and is the Green answer for material handling equipment. The batteries should easily hold a charge that will last an entire work day and then can be recharged overnight using the optional battery charger which also plugs into regular 110V single phase power. This type of forklift is also known as a counterweight design lift truck.

This forklift is covered by the LiftScience 2 Year Limited Parts Warranty as are all of our walkie forklifts.

Counterbalanced Forklift, Walkie Forklifts, Electric Forklift, Lift Truck Selection Guide:

The average empty pallet weighs approximately 50 pounds. Some weigh in at more than 80 pounds. Choosing an efficient method of gathering and managing pallets can mean the difference between profit and loss--employee safety and hazardous working conditions. And what about full pallets? If not moved properly, you risk product damage and steep drops in quality. When it comes to efficient storage and distribution, the counterbalance forklift you choose is critical. Its use will save time and money and also prevent needless injuries.

Key Specifications

Lift Height and Weight Capacity
You'll want to choose the pallet stacker lift truck that fits in best with your routine and warehouse set-up. The most basic questions are: How high do you need to lift and how much weight capacity?

A counterbalanced forklift will typically lift up to a maximum of 12 feet or lower and can handle up to 3300 lbs. More than this and you should probably consider a full blown forklift.

Manual Drive or Electric Drive?

A manual drive counterbalanced forklift is the most economical in terms of purchase price and on-going repair and maintenance but is also difficult to push. A typical warehouse employee will be able to move a 2000lb pallet on a smooth warehouse floor, although if you will be handling more than 10 pallets/day you should probably consider electric drive.

An electric drive counterbalanced forklift will be more expensive to purchase and operate than manual drive models but are better suited to high duty use, use in parking lots, and where the warehouse employees can't muscle the weight around. These models will all feature forward/reverse variable speeds and safety brakes.

Stabilization Legs

A fork over design forklift has is where the forks of the pallet lift truck lower right on top of the stabilization legs. The advantages of this design are that it is less expensive, takes up less space and can maneuver in tight aisles. The disadvantage is since the forks are directly over the stabilization legs, you cannot pick up a closed bottom pallet directly from the floor; however, this is still an excellent choice for unloading trucks and this disadvantage can be overcome with either open bottom pallets/skids or blocks.
A straddle leg forklift allow the forks to lower directly to the floor with the stabilization legs straddling either side of the pallet. Advantages of this design are it allows you to pick up closed bottom pallets directly from the floor. Disadvantages are it is more expensive to purchase/ship and it takes up more space.

A counterbalanced forklift offers some benefits of both of the previously mentioned styles but with some other drawbacks. Counterweight stackers can lift pallets directly off of the floor since there are no stabilization legs to get in the way. The disadvantages are that the weight capacity and lift height will typically be less than the other styles.
Self-propelled stackers are similar to forklift trucks but not as large or as expensive usually. Yet, you can take a stacker to the loading dock, pick up a loaded pallet of merchandise, travel with it back to the retail store side of the operation, position your stacker unit at the shelf up to twelve feet in the air and smoothly lift the pallet and merchandise to the level of the storage shelf and remove the forks from the pallet, leaving the merchandise and pallet safely positioned on a shelf.
