Stacking
To put a load on a stack:
Approach slowly and align the lift truck and load squarely with the stack.
Raise (elevate) the load as the lift truck is nearing the stack. Move
forward, slowly, until the load is almost touching the stack. The leading
edge and sides of the load pallet should be lined up exactly with the near
edge and side of the load or rack on which you are stacking.
Fig 1 Stop close to the stack.
Fig 2 Lift (raise) the load high
enough to clearthe top sur-
face of the stack.
Fig 3 Slowly extend the load into
position using the panto-
graph (reach function). Be
careful not to damage or
move adjacent loads.
Fig 4 When the load is aligned
with the stack beneath it,
tilt the forks to the vertical
position and carefully lower
the load onto the top sur-
face of the stack.
Fig 5 Lower the forks slightly to
clear (disengage) the load
pallet. Retract the panto-
graph slowly. Tilt the forks
forward slightly, if neces-
sary.
Fig 6 Check your travel path,
then carefully back away
until the forks are clear of
the stack. Stop and lower
the forks to the travel posi-
tion (6 to 8 inches above
the ground).
