What is the main purpose of installing the back rest on the lifting frame of a stacker?

The primary purpose of installing the back rest on the lifting frame of a stacker is to prevent the goods from falling during lifting and transporting. This safety feature plays a critical role in ensuring that loads remain secure while they are being moved, especially when the stacker is in operation or navigating through tight spaces. Without a back rest, there is an increased risk of items tipping over or being dislodged, which could lead to accidents or damage to both the load and the equipment.

While improving visibility, increasing lifting capacity, and supporting the operator are important factors in forklift operation, they are not the main focus of the back rest’s function. The back rest directly addresses the safety and stability of the load, making it essential for efficient and safe operation of the stacker.
