5. Handling, Transport & Storage
5.1 Assembly
The Quikstak is usually delivered fully assembled, but in some cases the forks and/or straddle
legs may be removed to reduce volume for shipping. These parts may be refitted using the
procedures described in
§4.5.7.1 (forks) and §4.6.5.1 (straddle legs).
5.2 Jacking up
Observe the following procedure when jacking up the Quikstak:
1. Lower the forks, turn the Quikstak off and depress the EMERGENCY STOP. Check that
the jack is in good condition and rated to least 1000kg.
2. Position the jack beneath the very centre of the Quikstak frame, taking care that it
will not slip or topple.
3. Extend the jack just far enough to lift the outrigger wheels slightly off the ground.
4. Once the jack is extended, place wooden blocks beneath the frame on either side
as an additional safeguard while work is carried out.
Never place hands or feet beneath the Quikstak while it is jacked up.
5.3 Lifting
Observe the following procedure when lifting the Quikstak:
1. Lower the forks, turn the Quikstak off and depress the EMERGENCY STOP.
2. Check that the lifting equipment is in good condition and rated to least 1000kg.
3. Attach a sling or chain to the lifting equipment, and fasten it to the cross-member at
the top of the mast. A slot is provided in the perspex guarding to facilitate this.
4. Lift, transport and lower the Quikstak into the desired position, ensuring it remains
upright at all times. It is recommended to have at least one other person present to
watch for obstructions and steady the Quikstak if needed.
Never stand or reach underneath the Quikstak while it is being lifted.
The standard Quikstak weighs around 575kg. Always verify the weight of the machine on
the rating plate, and confirm that the lifting equipment has sufficient capacity.
5.4 Transportation
Observe the following procedures when transporting the Quikstak.
1. If possible, palletise the Quikstak to reduce the risk of handling damage:
a. Lower the forks, turn the Quikstak off and depress the EMERGENCY STOP.
b. Observing the procedures in §5.3 , use lifting equipment to place the Quikstak
onto a heavy-duty wooden pallet.
c. Tie the Quikstak firmly onto the pallet with plastic or metal strapping.
