Section 5. Operating Procedures
Stacking
To put a load on a stack:
1. Approach slowly and align the lift
truck and load squarely with the
st
ack.
2. Raise (elevate) the load as the lift
truck is nearing the stack.
3. Move forward, slowly, until the load is
almost touching the stack. The lead-
ing edge and sides of the load pallet
sh
ould be lined up exactly with the
near edge and side of the load or
rack on which you are stacking
4. Stop close to the stack and further lift
(raise) the load high enough to clear
th
e top surface of the stack. Slowly
move the load into position. Be care-
ful not to damage or move adjacent
load
s.
5. When the load is aligned with the
st
ack beneath it, tilt the upright to the
vertical position and carefully lower
the load onto the top surface of the
stack.
