4INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE HAND
STACKER
The Platform stacker with forks (Art. 0782), is a machine designed for the lifting and
transportation of loads, arranged on pallets or in normalised containers, on flat smooth floors
(such as the floors of industrial warehouses) with appropriate hardness and resistance
(capable of supporting the weight of the Truck pallet plus the maximum rated load capacity).
The working environment must also be sufficiently well lit to ensure maximum operational
safety (at least 50 lux are recommended).
The operating temperature is within the range of –5 / + 45°C.
Other types of use, or the extension of use beyond that envisaged, does not
correspond to the designation attributed by the manufacturer, and therefore the
latter cannot accept any responsibility for any damage resulting therefrom.
