If you’re looking to improve productivity, safety, and flexibility in your material handling operations, counterbalance stackers are a smart investment — and Counterbalance Power Stackers from A Plus Warehouse are among the top options on the market. Whether you’ve got tight aisles, heavy loads, or a busy receiving area, these machines bring real value to your facility.
What Is a Counterbalance Stacker?
A counterbalance stacker is a type of powered warehouse equipment that lifts and transports pallets and heavy loads without the need for front support legs or outriggers. Instead, the unit uses a counterweight at the rear to balance the load, which provides stability even when working with heavy items. This design is especially useful in warehouses and distribution centers where space is limited and efficiency matters.
Why Choose Counterbalance Stackers?
🧠 Improved Maneuverability
One of the biggest advantages of counterbalance stackers is that they don’t have front support legs like some other stacker types. This design gives operators full front access to pallets, skids, and containers, making it easier to work close to racks, conveyors, or dock doors — especially in tight spaces.
📦 Versatile Performance
Counterbalance stackers from A Plus Warehouse handle a wide range of materials — from standard pallets to specialty loads — and can serve multiple tasks such as stacking, staging inventory, or moving goods between work zones. Many of these units can lift up to several thousand pounds and reach considerable heights, making them suitable for everything from retail backrooms to industrial warehouses.
⚡ Reduced Operator Fatigue
Most modern counterbalance stackers are electric, meaning they offer powered lift and drive capabilities. This drastically reduces the physical strain on workers and improves overall productivity — especially during long shifts. Operators benefit from smoother control and easier steering, which can translate into faster, safer operations.
🔒 Enhanced Safety Features
Safety is always a priority in material handling. Counterbalance stackers often include ergonomic controls, emergency stop functions, speed control features, and visibility-focused design elements. These safety measures help operators work confidently while minimizing risk.
