The ACS-08/10/12/15 represents the performance tier of Noveltek's walkie stacker range — combining the two technology upgrades that most significantly improve walkie stacker operational economics: AC motor drive and Electronic Power Steering.
The AC motor delivers 30%-plus energy savings over DC systems, eliminates carbon brush maintenance cycles, and provides smoother, more consistent performance across load weights and temperatures. For operations in cold storage — where battery performance is a common concern — AC systems generally perform more consistently at low temperatures than DC alternatives.
The EPS (Electronic Power Steering) system reduces the physical effort required to steer the stacker to near-zero. On a counterbalanced stacker, where the operator is maneuvering a loaded machine in warehouse aisles with frequent directional changes, this matters more than it might seem. Over an 8-hour shift with hundreds of steering inputs, EPS reduces cumulative operator fatigue and maintains precision at end-of-shift as effectively as at the start.
High-safety forged forks add structural integrity for high-cycle operations where fork fatigue over thousands of load cycles is a real consideration.
The counterbalanced design — no outrigger legs — provides the maneuverability advantage in standard warehouse aisle configurations. Four capacity steps from 800 kg to 1.5 tons cover the majority of single-deep racking applications. 100% Made in Taiwan. ISO 9001 and CE certified.
• AC Motor + EPS Combination: Two of the most significant technology upgrades available on a walkie stacker — AC motor efficiency (30%+ energy savings) and EPS power steering (dramatically reduced steering effort) on a single platform
• High-Safety Forged Forks: Forged steel forks versus standard fabricated forks — higher tensile strength, better fatigue resistance for sustained high-cycle operation
• Four Capacity Options: ACS-08 (800 kg), ACS-10 (1,000 kg), ACS-12 (1,200 kg), ACS-15 (1,500 kg) — select the right working margin
• Counterbalanced Design: No outrigger legs — forks enter pallets from the standard open base position without requiring specific pallet leg clearance
• AC Inverter Control: Smooth, stepless speed and lift control; regenerative braking
• EPS Steering: 185° arc electronic power assist — consistent control with minimal physical effort, critical for sustained operation
• Made in Taiwan: ISO 9001 certified. CE certified. OEM/ODM available.
• High-cycle warehouse and distribution center stacking operations
• Cold storage and refrigerated warehouse — AC motor performance in low temperatures
• Operations prioritizing operator ergonomics and end-of-shift precision
• Facilities requiring high-safety forged fork structural integrity
• Narrow-aisle stacking where counterbalance maneuverability is preferred over outrigger designs
Q1: What is the difference between a counterbalanced walkie stacker and an outrigger (straddle) walkie stacker?
A1: A counterbalanced walkie stacker (like the ACS series) uses the machine's own rear weight as a counterbalance when lifting loads — it does not require front outrigger legs extending under the pallet. This provides better maneuverability in tight spaces and works with any standard pallet. An outrigger (straddle) stacker has legs that extend under or around the pallet for stability, which requires specific pallet leg clearance and restricts operation to compatible pallets. Counterbalanced stackers are generally more versatile but require a heavier machine to provide the counterbalance weight; outrigger designs can be lighter but require pallet compatibility.
Q2: How does the ACS AC+EPS compare to the standard APS AC walkie stacker?
A2: The ACS-08/10/12/15 adds EPS (Electronic Power Steering) to the AC motor platform — and uses a counterbalanced design rather than outrigger legs. The APS-10/15/18/20 AC uses outrigger legs and does not include EPS as standard. The ACS is the premium option for operations prioritizing operator ergonomics and counterbalanced maneuverability; the APS is the standard powered pallet stacker option with a wider capacity range (up to 2 tons) and outrigger stability.
