Figure 44: Shows difference between poorly and well aligned side by side stacking
The alignment of the adjacent stacks is important as to not over stress the side gates on existing stacks
(see Figure 44). Very poorly aligned stacks will cause damage to the side gate, as seen on the right side
of Figure 44.
NOTE : Any damage caused to side gate by badly alig ned stacks is the operator’s responsib ility. The
operator should always aim to align the new stack with the existing stack/s and not stack further
behind. The operator will also need to be aware of the side gate whilst manoeuvring the machine into
place as to no stress the side gate on existing stacks.
NOTE: Be careful to not overpower the rear clamps when releasing a stack. Overpowering and opening
the rear clamps excessively will cause the whole trailer to be pushed sideways and will cause excessive
stress on the machine. Once the clamping force is released, the clamps should slide out from
underneath the stack as you slowly pull forward away from the stack.
NOTE : Should there be road travel between the stack site and the collection site, it is the oper ator’s
responsibility to ensure both side gate road pins are fitted.
5.4.5 Auto Tip Bed Down
Once the Transtacker is clear of the stack, t he ‘Auto Tip Bed Down’ function can be used to bring the
Transtacker platform back down automatically. This function is in ‘ Stack Mode ’. To access it, hold the
bottom left button and push joysticks forwards and release. To cancel the function, move joystick in
any direction.
