Who the ESA121-D suits, and when to pick another model

Built for

  • Closed-bottom and perimeter-base pallets, including UK pallets
  • Mixed pallets, cages and non-standard loads
  • Racking up to 4.08 m
  • Walk-behind work in warehouses, backrooms and retail
  • Sites that want one stacker for every pallet type

What makes the ESA121-D work

The -D swaps the load wheels under the forks of the other ESA121 models for adjustable straddle legs either side of the pallet. Here's what that changes.

  • Straddle legs in four widths

    The legs set to four positions, giving 991, 1,067, 1,143 or 1,219 mm between them. The pallet sits between the legs rather than over them, so closed bottom boards are no problem.

  • Forks that slide

    The 40 × 100 × 1,070 mm forks adjust from 200 to 780 mm apart and lower to 63 mm. That lets them enter closed pallets, cages and narrower loads.

  • Lifts to 4.08 m

    A sturdy mast takes 1,200 kg up to 4,080 mm, the second-highest lift in the ESA121 family. The legs add support under the raised load.

  • AGM or lithium-ion

    Choose a 24V 105Ah AGM or lithium-ion battery, both with an integrated charger. Lithium suits quick top-ups in breaks.

  • Steady handling

    A 1,475 mm turning radius, turtle speed mode and an ergonomic tiller help in confined areas. It needs 2,263 mm of aisle for a Euro pallet carried lengthways.

  • Precise at height

    A 3.0 kW lift motor raises loads at 0.15 m/s laden. Optional proportional lifting reduces sway and helps you set pallets down cleanly on high beams.

Questions about the ESA121-D

Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).

How is the ESA121-D different from the ESA121-M and ESA121-DUPLEX?

The -D has adjustable straddle legs and sliding forks, so it lifts closed-bottom pallets the other two can't. It lifts to 4,080 mm, against 1,953 mm for the -M and 4,113 mm for the DUPLEX. It is also wider (1,156 to 1,384 mm) and heavier at 820 kg.

Which leg width do I need?

The pallet must fit between the legs. The four settings give 991, 1,067, 1,143 or 1,219 mm inside, so loads up to 1,219 mm wide fit on the widest setting. Tell us your pallet sizes and how you pick them up and we'll set it correctly.

Will it lift UK and Euro pallets?

Yes, including closed-bottom types. Because the pallet sits between the legs, the forks don't need gaps in the bottom boards.

What aisle width does it need?

EP gives 2,375 mm for a 1000 × 1200 pallet carried crossways and 2,263 mm for an 800 × 1200 Euro pallet carried lengthways.

Will it fit through my doorways?

In EP's spec table the mast is 2,425 mm tall lowered and 4,700 mm at full extension. Check door and ceiling heights against those figures, or send them to us.

Can it work on ramps?

It is meant for flat indoor floors. EP rates it at 3% gradeability laden and 10% unladen, with 40 mm of ground clearance.

Can I hire the ESA121-D?

Yes, on contract hire, at a weekly price on a 12-month contract, with servicing and repairs included. We don't offer short-term hire. See forklift hire.

How much does the ESA121-D cost?

It depends on the mast, battery and options you need. Ask for a price and we'll quote it to buy outright or on contract hire.

Who services the ESA121-D?

Our own engineers, from our Navan depot and Portadown office, using EP parts. We look after customers across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
