Vestil S-CB-BCF Fully Powered Bale Clamp & Lift Stacker — 800 lb, Ride-On, Counter-Balanced
The Vestil S-CB-BCF is a NEW fully powered, counter-balanced bale clamp stacker built for handling bales and boxes that forks can't easily grip. Instead of forks, it uses a powered side clamp to grip, lift, and move loads — ideal for die loading, machine feeding, and truck loading/unloading. A ride-on platform and high-torque 24V powered drive and lift make it efficient for moving uniform-sided loads across a facility, rated at 800 lb capacity.
Why It's Different: Most stackers need a pallet. This one clamps the load directly from the sides — so baled, boxed, or wrapped goods can be handled without a pallet at all. The counter-balanced design and ride-on platform add forklift-style access and operator efficiency.
Best For: Recycling and paper/textile operations handling baled goods, manufacturers feeding machines with boxed stock, and warehouses loading/unloading trucks with uniform boxed or baled loads. Choose the clamp range that fits your load width: 23"–41" or 27"–51".
⚠️ Bale clamp — NOT forks. This unit grips loads from the sides; it is not designed for standard palletized loads. For fork handling, see Vestil's counter-balanced powered drive lifts.
⚠️ Match clamp range to your load width: the 23"–41" and 27"–51" models clamp within those ranges. Load width must fall inside the selected clamp range.
⚠️ Includes ride-on platform — requires smooth, level floors. Ride-on operation needs appropriate floor conditions and operator training.
⚠️ Powered industrial truck — OSHA operator training required. Operators must be trained and authorized, including on the emergency reverse safety circuit.
⚠️ 800 lb capacity — the clamp handling capability is the specialty; verify your load weight falls within rating.
⚠️ Lead-acid batteries (two 12V) — California Prop 65 applies. Requires a charging outlet.
⚠️ LTL freight required — heavy unit; tall/heavy configuration may require a flatbed. Receiving location must accommodate freight delivery with means to offload.
