What happens when the tension of the two lifting chains of the stacker mast is adjusted differently?

When the tension of the two lifting chains of the stacker mast is adjusted differently, it can lead to improper alignment of the mast. This misalignment can cause the mast to bend under the uneven forces applied to it. When one chain has more tension than the other, it results in unequal distribution of weight and force across the mast. Over time, this can cause structural damage to the mast itself, leading to bending or warping, which could ultimately compromise the safety and effectiveness of the stacker.

An evenly adjusted chain tension is crucial for ensuring that the lifting mechanism operates smoothly and safely. Proper tension helps maintain the integrity of the mast and allows it to lift loads evenly, preventing excessive stress on any one side and reducing the risk of mechanical failure.
