What should a driver do when the stacker is not loaded?

The most appropriate action for a driver when the stacker is not loaded is to perform the same operation as when loading cargo. This consistency helps maintain safety and operational efficiency.

When operating a stacker, the driver should be mindful of keeping the same control techniques and procedures regardless of whether the machine is loaded or empty. This includes maintaining load stability and controlling the stacker's movements in a similar manner. By using the same operating practices, the driver can ensure that they remain accustomed to how the stacker handles, which is crucial during loading and unloading scenarios. Additionally, it helps in mitigating risks associated with sudden changes in operation style that could lead to accidents or mishandling.

Adopting a different operating method when the stacker is empty could inadvertently lead to unsafe conditions, as drivers might become complacent or overestimate their control. Therefore, keeping a consistent operational approach is key to ensuring both safety and productivity in stock handling tasks.
