EZ2518F Counterbalance Stacker with Custom Hook Attachment
A technical case for a non-standard semi-electric counterbalance stacker configured around a light-duty hook-supported handling task.
The supplied drawing identifies the EZ2518F base and its reference geometry. The shipment photos show the finished yellow-and-black stacker and custom front hook/support structure. The attachment must be evaluated as part of the complete load case, not treated as a simple accessory.
Base Configuration
What the counterbalance platform contributes
The drawing lists a 100 kg rated load, 1,420 mm lift height, 500 mm load center, 600 mm fork length and adjustable front spacing from 30 to 600 mm. These values form the reference condition for the project, while the custom hook may change forward offset and force direction.
Vertical positioning
The listed 1,420 mm lift height supports light-duty transfer or positioning, subject to the actual destination interface.
Counterbalance access
The front interface can approach a fixture, machine or component without relying on a wide front-leg arrangement.
Adjustable support
The drawing lists a 30-600 mm adjustable range as a reference for the front support geometry.
Custom load interface
Hook throat, retention, offset and side-load limits require confirmation from the approved project drawing.
Shipment Evidence
Finished machine and front attachment
The supplied photos show a yellow counterbalance mast, protective operator structure, front adjustable members and hook-like end attachments in a factory environment. They establish the delivered appearance and configuration context, but not a customer result or certification.

Acceptance Sequence
Eight checks before release to operation
Compare the delivered unit
Match the mast, front structure and hook with the approved drawing.
Inspect the attachment
Check throat, retention, edges, welds and adjustment points.
Test the load case
Use a representative load at or below the confirmed 100 kg rating.
Check the center
Confirm the actual center remains within the approved 500 mm condition.
Verify lift and hold
Test lifting, holding and lowering at the required working height.
Drive the route
Include the attachment, load, aisles, turns and floor transitions.
Prevent unhooking
Confirm the load cannot disengage during travel or lowering.
Document limits
Record approved loads, prohibited side pull and maintenance requirements.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the EZ2518F rated load?
The supplied drawing lists 100 kg. Confirm the final rating and attachment limits in the quotation.
What is the listed lift height?
The drawing lists 1,420 mm. Usable height depends on the final hook and load geometry.
What is the load center?
The supplied drawing lists 500 mm. A custom hook or suspended load can change the effective center.
Can the hook handle any load?
No. Hook opening, retention, attachment rating, sling or eye configuration and side-load limits must be confirmed.
