What should you do when the stacker wants to place goods?

When a stacker is preparing to place goods, it is essential to ensure a proper and safe placement of the load. Tilting the forks forward to the appropriate level before descending is a critical step because it provides better control of the load. This forward tilt positions the forks in a way that allows the goods to slide off smoothly and increases stability, which reduces the risk of the load shifting or falling during the placement process.

This technique is also vital for visibility, ensuring that the operator can see the area where the load will be placed, thus improving safety and accuracy. Proper load placement practices contribute to efficiency in operations and help prevent accidents, which can occur if the load descends without the correct tilt adjustment. Ensuring the load is at the right angle before lowering is therefore essential in stacker operations.
