When both LOWER buttons are pressed, a valve is opened which allows the hydraulic fluid to
flow out of the ram back into the reservoir, causing the lifting carriage to descend. This
action is not directly powered; the carriage is lowered by gravity alone.
1.4 Safe Working Load
The rated Safe Working Load of the Microstacker is 150 kilograms (330lb) .
Never attempt to lift more than the factory-designated Safe Lifting Capacity of the
machine.

1.6 Service life
The nominal service life of the Microstacker is as follows:
Average Gross Load Nominal Service Life
< 50kg 200,000 lift/lower cycles
50kg – 100kg 150,000 lift/lower cycles
100kg – 150kg 100,000 lift/lower cycles
1.7 Noise emissions
The noise emissions of the Microstacker do not typically exceed ~60 dB(A) at the operator’s
ear.
Hearing protection is not required, but is recommended if operating the machine for
extended periods.
ISO standards for machinery safety specify that noise emissions are to be measured in A-
weighted decibels (dB(A)), a unit of volume which is adjusted to reflect the sensitivity of
human hearing. The measurements are taken at a point 1.6 metres above the ground at
the operator’s working position.
