Explore the WSA161i

Initial lift with double pallet handling

Fast stacking with proportional control

Advanced Li-ion power system

Operator-focused design


Application
The WSA161i is tailored for warehouses, logistics centers, and distribution hubs requiring both stacking and double decking operations. Thanks to its initial lift, operators can move goods across docks or uneven surfaces with ease, while proportional lifting and lowering ensure precision and care for fragile loads. With travel speeds up to 5.5 km/h, compact 810 mm chassis width, and turning radius of 1826 mm, it delivers agility even in narrow aisles.

Its initial lift and strong support arms enable efficient double decking, while fast lifting speeds and proportional control minimize turnover cycles. The stacker is fully designed around Li-ion technology, ensuring rapid charging, long runtime, and reduced maintenance costs. Operators benefit from a modern design with integrated storage space, USB outlet for devices, and an ergonomic tiller for precise control. Optional features such as higher-capacity batteries, external chargers, telematics, and cold storage configuration make the WSA161i a flexible, future-ready choice for heavy-duty warehouse applications.
FAQs
What is the load capacity of the WSA161i?
The WSA161i can handle 1600 kg on the mast and up to 2000 kg on the support arms when using the initial lift.
What is the purpose of the initial lift function?
The initial lift raises the support arms independently, providing more ground clearance for uneven floors or ramps and enabling double pallet handling (double decking).
How high can the WSA161i lift?
Mast options are available up to 5.5 meters, allowing precise and efficient stacking in medium-to-high warehouse racking systems.
What type of battery does the WSA161i use?
It comes standard with a 24V/100Ah Li-ion battery and integrated charger, with optional upgrades to 205Ah Li-ion or lead-acid batteries for extended runtime.
What operator-friendly features are included?
The WSA161i includes integrated storage, a USB outlet for device charging, ergonomic tiller, and turtle speed mode for safe maneuvering in narrow aisles.
