Stacker, Motorized, Electric, Cap 2000 Lbs
Powered drive / powered lift pallet stacker truck. Raise, lower and maneuver loads quickly and easily. An
easy-to-operate thumb-wheel allows infinite forward and reverse travel speeds of 3. mph unloaded / 3.1 mph
loaded. Fingertip raise and lower buttons, horn and a safety-reverse control-button are conveniently located.
An electromagnetic disc brake with automatic dead-man feature activates when the user releases the handle.
Two, 12 volt, 70 amp-hour batteries, integral charger, charge-level indicator and emergency disconnect are
included. Features 24 volt DC 0.7 KW drive and 2.0 KW lift motors. Out-rigger wheels keep the stacker stable
when turning. The rigid frame features perimeter toe-skirting. Protective mesh on the operator side of mast is
powder-coated black allowing see-through visibility. A proprietary DC motor controller prevents unsafe starts
when the safety-reverse button is inadvertently struck. Adjustable forks are forged-metal, fixed forks are
formed-metal, all have a 55” turning radius. Rolls smoothly on polyurethane steer and load wheels. Deep cycle
batteries typically provide eight ( ) hours of service on one full charge.

length of forks. When the center of gravity of goods is out of the center of forks, the load capacity will be
lessened compared to the center.

Receiving Instructions
Every unit is thoroughly tested and inspected prior to shipment. However, it is possible
that the unit may incur damage during transit. If you see damage when unloading, make a
note of it on the SHIPPER RECEIVER.

Removing from the pallet
CAREFUL
To pick up the unit only use overhead hoist, or forklift with sufficient carrying
capacity & take into consideration the center of gravity of the unit. Use top crossmember to
lift the equipment. Be careful of the stacker swinging once fully lifted off the pallet or skid.
Remove the pallet or skid from below the lift & lower the stacker on the ground.
Refer to the identification plate for the weight of stacker.
Lifting belt specification— Use polyester lifting sling or nylon sling and hoist with a
minimum of 2,000 lb. capacity.
DANGER
When unloading the truck, all personnel should be cleared from the area.

OPERATION
Visually inspect stacker for damaged and worn parts, before stacker is taken into
operation. Authorized person should read and understand all instructions
The lifting truck is ready for immediate use once the packaging has been removed.
The battery is full and charged.
The hydraulic tank is full.
The driving gear is filled with oil filling for approx. 200 operation hours.
The steering roller and the running rollers are equipped with bearings which do not require maintenance;
all mast rollers are also free from maintenance.
Caution!
Pedestrian controlled industrial trucks may only be operated by persons who have been satisfactorily
instructed in operating the truck and have proved their ability to operate the truck to the responsible
representative of the operating company.
The first driving attempts should take place on level and spacious surfaces.
Recommendation:
The operator who is to maneuver the truck and is to control the lifting mechanism should be allowed
to practice, when unloaded, until they can safely operate these functions.
Only then should they undertake the loading, transporting and unloading of load.
