When driving a stacker on a ramp, what is the correct action to take?

When driving a stacker on a ramp, the appropriate action is to lower the load and drive uphill. This technique is crucial for maintaining stability and ensuring safety while maneuvering on an incline. Lowering the load lowers the center of gravity of the stacker, which helps prevent tipping. Additionally, having the load down while ascending allows better visibility and control, reducing the chances of losing balance.

Driving uphill while maintaining the load in a high position can shift the center of gravity, increasing the risk of the stacker tipping over, especially on steep ramps. Conducting operations at maximum speed while descending is particularly dangerous, as it can lead to loss of control and accidents.

Therefore, the best practice is to have the load lowered when driving uphill, ensuring optimal safety and stability while using the stacker on ramps.
