The ESA121-D Advantage
Stable Duplex Mast & Straddle Legs
Unlike standard wrap-over stackers, the ESA121-D features adjustable straddle legs that easily fit around Australian closed-bottom CHEP pallets. Combined with a rigid H-beam duplex mast and twin side cylinders, it offers excellent forward visibility and minimizes frame torsion during heavy 1.2-ton lifts.
Maintenance-free battery
The ESA121-D comes with highly reliable, maintenance-free AGM batteries (Lithium-ion upgrades available to order). It provides a completely hassle-free experience with no water top-ups required. The built-in integrated charger allows you to plug directly into a standard wall outlet for maximum daily convenience.
No Forklift License Required
As a pedestrian walkie stacker, the ESA121-D allows for immediate operation without the need for a high-risk LF forklift license. Its intuitive dual-hand controls, anti-rollback brakes, and automatic speed reduction features ensure operators can handle loads safely with minimal training.
The Perfect Straddle Stacker for CHEP Pallets
The EP ESA121-D is a 1.2-ton electric walkie stacker specifically designed to overcome the limitations of standard stackers in the Australian market. Its adjustable straddle legs wrap around closed-bottom CHEP pallets with ease, providing a wider, more stable footprint. With a compact chassis designed to navigate narrow aisles, it is the ultimate space-saving solution for tight warehouses, retail backrooms, and distribution centers.
Reliable Performance & Smart Design
Engineered for maximum daily utility, the ESA121-D features a user-friendly upper cover with dedicated storage for documents, tools, and a cup. Driven by a market-proven electric drive unit and a maintenance-free AGM battery system, it delivers smooth lifting speeds and reliable traction. Standard safety features include an emergency stop button, hydraulic hose-burst protection, and an automatic speed reduction system, ensuring complete operator confidence when stacking at height.

Frequently Asked Questions
This ESA121-D electric stacker has a rated load capacity of 1200kg, making it well-suited for handling most pallet handling tasks in warehouses and retail environments.
Yes. Standard 'wrap-over' stackers fail on closed-bottom CHEP pallets, but this equipment is specifically engineered to handle Australian CHEP pallets and custom skids flawlessly through its adjustable straddle legs mechanism.
Yes. A common concern is whether the legs will fit inside a vehicle or on a tail lift. The ESA121-D is specifically designed with adjustable straddle legs that offer four different width settings (ranging from 1156mm to 1384mm). This allows you to narrow the legs to fit into the limited space of a delivery van or widen them to straddle a standard CHEP pallet. Its compact 1475mm turning radius further ensures agile maneuvering in these tight environments.
Yes. Unlike standard wrap-over stackers that cannot enter closed-bottom pallets, the ESA121-D features adjustable straddle legs. These legs wrap around the outside of the pallet, making it perfectly compatible with Australian CHEP pallets and various other custom skid sizes.
The truck is equipped with a highly reliable AGM battery that is 100% maintenance-free, meaning you never need to top it up with water. It also features a built-in integrated charger, so you can simply plug the stacker directly into any standard wall power outlet for hassle-free charging.
No. Because this equipment is pedestrian-operated, it does not require a High-Risk Work (LF) forklift license in Australia. This significantly reduces your training costs and hiring barriers, allowing staff to safely use the equipment after basic internal safety induction.
Yes, it is the ultimate space-saving solution. By eliminating the bulky seated cabin of a traditional forklift, this walkie stacker achieves an ultra-compact turning radius. Equipped with features like 'Turtle Speed', operators can navigate highly congested aisles and tight corners with absolute precision and safety.
Very safe. This electric stacker is equipped with intelligent safety systems, including automatic travel speed reduction when the forks are raised, anti-rollback brakes on ramps, and proportional lifting controls. These ensure that even fragile or heavy loads are placed onto high racks smoothly and securely.
