Stacking a Load
Slowly approach the placing location with
the load in the safe travel position.
The truck may be driven in sideward mode
and side shift may be used to align the load
perfectly with the placing location if
necessary.
Apply the park brake and select neutral.
Level the load using the tilt function – or if
the load is not secure keep it tilted back.
Check overhead to make sure there is
adequate headroom before lifting. Pay
attention to the highest point (this may be
on a load backrest if fitted).
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
give the required lift speed.
Ensure that the load is perfectly aligned
and it is not going to foul the racking or
adjacent loads on entry. Side shift can be
used to make small adjustments.
Fully press the brake/inch pedal, select
forward and release the park brake.
Press the accelerator pedal lightly to
increase the engine speed then gradually
release the brake/inch pedal until the truck
begins to move forward slowly.
Make small steering corrections and/or use
side shift as required to position the load
precisely in its intended 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.
