Receiving Instructions

Inspect the unit and verify damage has not occurred during shipment. If damage is evident, FILE A CLAIM WITH THE CARRIER IMMEDIATELY.

The unit is removed from the pallet by an overhead hoist, crane, fork truck, etc with a lifting and carrying capacity rated for the weight of the SE/HP stacker. The stacker has specifically designed features for unloading located on the outside of each lifting channel, as shown in Figure: Suspended Stacker. Use a lifting belt, shown in red, with a minimum tensile strength, 2,000 lb. capacity.

When unloading the stacker, all personnel should be cleared from the area. The stacker is ready for service once unpacked and unloaded. The battery is fully

charged. The hydraulic aggregate tank has been filled. The steering roller, running rollers and the mast rollers are equipped with maintenance-free bearings.

Introduction

The SE/HP stacker is ideal for maintenance and commercial applications. The economical, alternative stacker can lift loads with DC power or manually with a hand pump. The high quality, hand pump is ideal for small height increments. The DC lifter is powered by two 12V, 40Ah batteries. The user manages the battery power with the integral battery charger, battery level gauge and adjustable lowering speed control. The solid, compact design is ideal to transport dies, molds and open bottom pallets. All models are easily maneuverable with standard push/pull handles. The individual forks are 6” wide. The “–AA” models come with adjustable width outriggers for improved stability at higher heights.

Operation

Only trained operators can use the stacker. The minimal recommended training should include reading this complete manual, proficiently able to perform all stacker operations without load and augmented instruction deemed necessary by your company’s safety practices.

The trained operator is responsible for determining the actual load’s weight and for evaluating the safety of the environmental conditions within the stacker will operate. Some conditions to consider are:

 The floor’s available space, degree of levelness and condition to transport and lift the load.  The stacker’s condition. Reference Inspection and Maintenance section for proper care.  The inventory rack’s or stowage structure’s stability and condition to support the transported load.

Figure: Transporting a load

Moving:

To transport a load, start with completely lowered forks. Verify the load is evenly distributed across the forks. Make adjustments as appropriate. Slowly raise the forks just high enough so the load can be transported.

When ready, the trained operator will push or pull the Push/Pull Bars to transport the load over a level, smooth and spacious surface. Push the stacker forward to transport the load over longer distances.

Only when setting down or picking up a load with raised, loaded forks is it permissible to move the stacker forwards or in reverse. This activity should be on a smooth, level surface. Once the load is completely over the floor, lower the forks to the floor then raise the load just enough so the load can be transported.

When unloaded, completely lower the forks before moving the stacker. Always avoid sudden stops, quick turns or quick starts to prevent accidental tipping or shifting of the load.

Lifting and Lowering:

Before lifting, verify the load does not exceed the stacker’s carrying capacity

or its lifting height. Ensure the load is evenly distributed across both forks.

Verify the load will not extend or project into the stacker’s lifting frame.

Prevent and ensure no one will be under the load, even if they are just

walking through or by. Lastly, verify the surface is level. For the –AA version, widen the stability forks as necessary.

The trained operator positions the stacker’s forks securely under the load. The space between the load and the stacker is as close as possible, as shown in Figure: Minimizing the Gap. If the forks are shorter than the load, the load should not extend 50mm beyond the lifting forks’ end reach.

To raise the load, the trained operator has two options. First, if the Power Meter, item 2, indicates the batteries have a charge, the trained operator can press the Lift Button, item 3. Secondly, the manual option is always available. Lowering the Pump Handle, item 1, will incrementally raise the load. Continue to actuate the lifting mechanism with the Pump Handle until the load is at the desired height.

Lowering the load can be achieved with the Lowering Handle, item 4. Squeezing the Lowering Handle towards the Pump Handel will lower the load. When the Lowering Handle is released, the load stops descending. Lower the load in a smooth and safe manor as not to disturb the weight distribution on the forks.

Before Leaving the Stacker:

The stacker needs to be stowed on a level, clean surface that is clear of other vehicles.

There are a few steps to follow: First, lower the forks completely. Then, depress the E-Stop push-button down. Lastly, activate the parking brake by pressing down on the “ON” flange until it is snug, as shown in Figure: De-activating the Brake.
