Presto Lifts’ PowerStack Features 3,000-Lb. Capacity | Industry News

Presto Lifts' new PowerStak Model PPS-3000-AS is a compact, heavy-duty stacker with 3,000 lbs. of capacity with a 24-in. load center. A two-stage telescopic mast enables it to lift loads up to 125 in., allowing it to service rack up to 10 ft. high.

The PPS-3000-AS has an ergonomically designed handle that puts all controls within easy reach for operator comfort and convenience. Forward- and reverse-drive switches are located on both sides of the handle to accommodate left- or right-hand operation. A turtle speed setting reduces drive speed by 50% for more precise positioning control when working in tight quarters. An auto-reversing belly switch protects operators from potential injury when walking the unit backwards, and an automatic brake halts travel when the drive/steering handle is released. A key switch, horn, and e-stop are also standard equipment.

The electrical system includes industry-recognized controller and contactors. Power is delivered to the 1.5 KW motor by two sealed, maintenance-free 150 amp-hour AGM batteries, and the heavy-duty built-in charger has fuse protection and a rugged casing. A battery discharge indicator let’s operators know when it’s time to recharge the unit.

Solid steel straddle legs provide extreme rigidity and stability and can be adjusted from an inside dimension of 40 1/8 in. up to 50 in. to accommodate any type of pallet or skid, even closed bottom. Adjustable forged steel forks are 42 in. long.
