About This Equipment

Overview

The PS30CB / PS40CB Series is Noblelift heavy-duty electric counterbalanced stacker line - a step up from the walkie PSE11N-CB. Available in 3,000 lb and 4,000 lb capacities with fourteen mast configurations spanning 98" to 177" of lift, combining ZAPI/Schabmueller European drivetrain, ride-on platform, and full counterbalanced operation.

Counterbalanced Design

  • No straddle legs - works with closed-bottom pallets, drums, IBCs, custom skids, dunnage

  • Direct rack access - no leg clearance against rack face

  • Tighter aisle requirements than equivalent-capacity straddle stackers

  • Ride-on platform - operator stands on unit for long shifts

European Drivetrain & Build Quality

  • ZAPI Controller (Italy) for reliability and programmable performance

  • German Schabmueller AC drive motor - high torque, low maintenance

  • German Kordel sealed gearbox - lifetime lubrication

  • Electric Power Steering (EPS) standard

  • Proportional hydraulic lifting for precise placement

  • Mast tilt 1.5° F / 3.5° B

Full Free Lift on 3-Stage Masts

Full Free Lift is standard on all 3-stage variants (142, 157, 169, 177) at no additional cost. Available as a +$225 upgrade on 2-stage variants (98, 118, 126). FFL allows the inner mast and forks to rise to a usable height before the outer mast extends - critical for stacking inside trailers, containers, and mezzanines.

Battery & Lithium Upgrade

PS30CB ships with a 24V/270Ah industrial battery (side extraction); PS40CB ships with a 24V/350Ah industrial battery (side extraction). Lithium upgrades: PS30CB = 150Ah LFP + 60A charger (+$3,400); PS40CB = 200Ah LFP + 80A charger (+$4,200).

Ride-On Platform

The defining feature versus the walkie PSE11N-CB: the PS30CB/PS40CB includes a ride-on operator platform with protective arms, allowing the operator to stand on the unit during travel. This reduces fatigue on long shifts and increases throughput in distribution-center applications.

Operator Controls & Safety

  • Ergonomic control handle with horn and reverse button

  • Dual butterfly-style thumb controls

  • Crawl speed button for tight spaces

  • Pin code panel access

  • USB Port for scanner/device charging

  • Emergency power disconnect

  • Standard load backrest

  • Protective arms on ride-on platform

PS30CB: 4.4 mph loaded / 5.0 mph unloaded. PS40CB: 3.75 mph loaded / 4.4 mph unloaded. Standard 42" forks; optional 48" (+$150), 54" (+$200), or 60" (+$250). 9.8" x 3.3" drive tire, 9" x 3.9" load wheels.
