EKX 516 is a versatile stacker, with a
lifting capacity up to 1600kg and a
choice of masts capable of achieving
an extended mast height of 17
metres.
The model which has been
produced by Conrad has an
impressive weight and plenty of
functionality, starting with the forks

unit can traverse the width of the
model, allowing it to operate in tight
storage locations with the ability to
pick pallets on either side of the isle.
The operator’s station is built into the
mast, extending over four stages to
reach an impressive height of 415mm
although one of the mast sections is
rather stiff to adjust, and the top-most
section becomes slack after half of the
adjustment, so cannot hold at the total
height. Within the platform there is a
front screen and barriers at each end
for safety with the seat hinged to
allow standing or seated operation
with the control console having the
ability to tilt forward. Unlike some
of the other forklift models, there
are no opening panels and the
internal battery is not modelled.
