Overview
Barron Equipment and Overhead Door carries the LiftStik Adjustable Base PLS67-285, a battery-powered high stacker designed for facilities that handle wide or off-center loads. This adjustable base lift stacker features base legs that widen to 28 inches, providing added stability when lifting items that extend beyond the edges of the platform. With a 285 lb capacity and a raised height of 67 inches, this power stacker gives workers the ability to lift and position loads at shelf height or above without manual strain.
The PLS67-285 is built for use in stockrooms, assembly areas, work cells, laboratories, offices, retail stores, manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, and pharmaceutical environments. Its compact design and powered lift system let a single operator raise, lower, and transport loads at the touch of a button.
Features and Benefits
The standout feature of this adjustable base lift stacker is the width-adjustable base. The legs spread to as wide as 28 inches, which keeps the unit stable even when handling loads that are wider than the platform. This makes the PLS67-285 a more versatile power stacker than fixed-base models, especially when load sizes vary from task to task.
The unit is built with lightweight aluminum construction for easy handling. The load is carried directly over the wheels, which provides excellent stability during lifting and transport. An ergonomic handle with an easy-access fingertip lift switch lets the operator control the high stacker while moving, without needing to stop or reposition.
The PLS67-285 delivers a fast lifting speed of 4.75 inches per second, with 63 inches of vertical travel to position loads at any height up to 67 inches. The lowered height sits at just 3.5 inches, allowing the platform to slide under low-profile loads. The unit runs on a 24VDC battery and all four swivel casters provide smooth maneuverability in tight areas. Rear casters include foot-operated locks for secure positioning during loading and unloading.
The standard 19.5-inch by 19.5-inch platform is made from durable UHMW polyethylene. Wood laminate and stainless steel platform options are also available. A wide selection of optional attachments allows this adjustable base lift stacker to be customized for specific tasks, including a UHMW platform with rollers, a heavy-duty stainless steel platform, a wave V-cradle platform, a side entry server platform, fixed forks, a twin mandrel, a pivoting crane arm, a roll manipulator, and a clamp and turn device.
Applications
This high stacker is designed for environments that need powered lifting with the flexibility to handle different load sizes. Common uses include:
- Lifting and positioning parts, bins, and containers at workstations and assembly cells
- Loading and unloading shelves, racks, and storage systems up to 67 inches high
- Handling rolls, reels, and coils with optional V-cradle or mandrel attachments
- Transporting servers and IT equipment using the optional side entry server platform
- Moving materials in food processing and pharmaceutical facilities where clean, leak-free equipment is needed
- Supporting stock rotation and replenishment tasks in retail and warehouse environments
The PLS67-285 power stacker works well in any setting where loads vary in size and need to be raised to mid or upper shelf heights. Because it uses a mechanical lift system with no hydraulic fluid, it is a safe choice for labs, cleanrooms, and food-grade areas where fluid leaks are not acceptable. The adjustable base gives operators confidence when handling loads that would feel unstable on a narrower fixed-base unit.
Selection Assistance
The PLS67-285 has a 285 lb capacity and a 67-inch raised height. Start by confirming that your heaviest loads fall within the 285 lb rating and that 67 inches is tall enough to reach your shelves, racks, or work surfaces.
Next, think about load size. If your loads are often wider than 19.5 inches, the adjustable base on this unit gives you the extra stability that a fixed-base model cannot provide. If your loads are consistently small and light, the standard LiftStik Compact may be a more cost-effective option.
Consider platform material as well. The standard UHMW polyethylene platform works for most general-purpose tasks. For food processing or pharmaceutical applications, a stainless steel platform may be a better fit. If you need to handle rolls or reels, optional V-cradle and mandrel attachments expand the range of what this adjustable base lift stacker can do.
