Starke LiftMaxx Manual and Semi-Electric Stackers
The least expensive and most straightforward stacker models available, manual and semi-electric straddle stackers are ideal entry level lifts for first time buyers. With either manual (hand or foot operated lift pump) or power assisted lift functions, these models are perfect for low volume, frequency and distance applications due to their low total cost of ownership and ease of upkeep and maintenance.
Among the most common uses of a manual straddle lift are in smaller retail operations, where they prevent difficult and potentially harmful activities such as hand-bombing while saving hundreds to thousands of dollars in tailgate fees whenever trailers are loaded/unloaded without the aid of a drop-down tailgate. The same is true with our semi-electric straddle lift, however, since it has power-assisted lift functions, it offers increased productivity and ease of use relative to its fully manual counterpart.
COST EFFECTIVE
You’ll find savings with these cost effective equipment solutions as manual and semi-electric lifts have lower maintenance and upkeep costs compared to electric models.
EASY MAINTENANCE & DIAGNOSTICS
With fewer components and low to no electric components, these models are easy to maintain and quick to diagnose should an issue arise.

Starke LiftMaxx Electric Stackers
The LiftMaxx Series electric stackers offers a number of advantages over sit-down counterbalanced forklifts when used in smaller, less spacious applications. In these constrictive work environments, narrow aisle alternatives to traditional forklifts are favored for their compact and maneuverable designs. The improved maneuverability of these models – most notably straddle stackers and reach trucks – is achieved by replacing the large counterweights used in a sit-down counterbalanced forklift with a set of stabilizing outriggers. These outriggers, widely known as straddle legs, extend from the front of the machine to prevent it from tipping forward while lifting a load. This, in turn, substantially reduces the amount of clearance required to operate these units, making them an ideal fit for narrow aisle applications. Our infinity adjustable straddle legs make this even easier as they can adjust to any width within the minimum and maximum ranges instead of being confined to a limited number of settings.
Available in lift capacities ranging from 2,000 – 3,500 lbs. in straddled, forkover and counterbalanced models. These models are used in applications where loaded pallets are lifted from the ground or off of a shelf/rack to be transported over moderate distances in indoor applications. Given their small size when compared to a forklift, these units can be used in narrow aisle applications or more confined facilities where space is a premium. If you’re unsure which pallet truck best fits your needs and application, contact us or your local Starke dealer.
LIFT HEIGHTS
Our LiftMaxx electric stackers offer a wide range of lift heights from 98″ to 220″, with double and triple mast configurations, which allow them to operate in a wide range of applications.
CUSTOMIZATION
With their Curtis AC controllers, you can customize the operation of our stackers including adjusting their lift and travel speed for safety purposes.
INFINITELY ADJUSTABLE
Unlike some other brands, our straddles are infinitely adjustable rather than having a few set straddle widths, allowing them to adapt to a wider range of load widths.
QUALITY COMPONENTS
Most of our electric straddle lifts include a 110V on-board charger that provides an easy solution for your daily charging needs.
