Placing a Long Load
Manoeuvre the truck so that the load is as close to the placing area as possible.
Use the four-way drive to get the truck into position if necessary.
Apply the park brake.
Raise the load 100mm (4˝) off the trucks platforms.
Extend the reach.
Level the load using the tilt function.
Gently lower the load onto the placing surface.
Retract the reach fully, tilt the mast back and raise/lower the forks to 100mm (4˝)
off the ground.
5.16.4 Stacking Long & Palletised Loads
Slowly approach the placing location with the load in the safe travel position.
Use the four-way drive to get the truck into position if necessary.
Select neutral and apply the park brake.
Raise the load 100mm (4˝) off the trucks platforms if handling a long load.
Level the load using the tilt function – or if the load is not secure keep it in the
tilted back position.
Check overhead to make sure there is adequate headroom before lifting. Pay
attention to the highest point.
Lift the load until the bottom of the pallet/load is 50-75mm (2-3˝) clear of the
racking (or the top of the load beneath if bulk stacking).
Gradually operate the accelerator pedal to ensure that the engine speed is
sufficient to prevent stalling and to give the required lifting speed.
Ensure the load is not going to foul the racking or adjacent loads before
traversing it out.
Extend the reach until the load is directly above the desired location.
If placing in racking, position the load with a 50-75mm (2-3˝) gap each side and
allow pallets to overhang the front of the racking by 25-50mm (1-2˝).
If bulk stacking, position the load exactly on top of the load beneath, keeping the
stack perfectly upright and level.
Use the tilt to level the load then lower the load gently onto the racking or stack.
Position the forks at a height to clear the pallet/load without fouling on withdrawal.
