Redesigned Stackers Feature Improved Performance and Ergonomics



Presto Lifts has redesigned its PowerStak line of compact, fully powered stackers for improved performance and ergonomics.

Several features have been added as standard equipment on all PowerStak models. A turtle speed setting reduces drive speed by 50% for more precise positioning. Straddle legs fabricated from solid steel are designed to provide additional rigidity and eliminate deflection, even under maximum load (2,200 lbs.). The electrical system has been upgraded with a reliable, industry-recognized controller and contactors. Power is now delivered by two sealed, maintenance-free AGM batteries, and the new heavy-duty built-in charger has fuse protection and a rugged casing. Other changes include a new component arrangement for better heat dissipation and better maintenance access.

PowerStak units are built on a short yet stable wheelbase to enhance maneuverability, even in tight quarters. An ergonomically designed handle puts all controls within easy reach for improved operator comfort and convenience. Forward- and reverse-drive thumb switches are located on both sides of the handle to accommodate left- or right-hand operation. The unit's narrow mast and offset control handle help ensure a clear forward view, with virtually no blind spots. An auto-reversing belly switch protects operators from potential injury when walking the unit backwards, while an automatic brake halts travel when the drive/steering handle is released.

These latest PowerStak models are available in fork-over design for use with open-bottom pallets or adjustable straddle design for use with closed-bottom pallets. Maximum lift heights range from 62" to 150".
