Fork Truck or Stacker Loading & unloading
When loading and unloading with a fork truck or stacker, the load should be distributed evenly on
the pallet.
When placing a pallet onto the machine, slowly lower the pallet onto the platform until the load is
completely supported by the machine. Slowly remove the forks from the pallet.
Do not drop the pallet onto the platform or damage may occur.
When removing the load from the machine, slowly insert the forks into the pallet and slowly lift the
pallet off the platform to avoid sudden changes in height which can damage the machine or cause
injury.
