When the stacker is traveling with no load, how must it slow down in case of emergency?

In the context of operating a stacker or forklift, when faced with an emergency situation while traveling with no load, stepping on the brake pedal with your right foot is the most effective and immediate method to slow down and stop the machine. This action allows the operator to quickly respond to an unexpected hazard, thereby ensuring the safety of both the operator and others in the vicinity.

Using the brake pedal provides direct control over the stacker's speed and allows for a rapid deceleration. This is particularly important in emergency scenarios where time is of the essence and stopping the machine quickly can prevent accidents and injuries.

Gradually reducing speed by coasting might not be sufficient in an emergency. It may take too long for the stacker to come to a complete stop, potentially leading to a collision or other dangerous situations. Similarly, while the emergency stop button is designed to halt the operation of the equipment, its primary function can be less immediate compared to pressing the brake pedal, which allows for more controlled stopping. Pulling the handbrake immediately may not be effective while the stacker is in motion, as it is typically used for securing the machine when stationary.

In summary, using the brake pedal ensures a swift and controlled descent in emergency situations, prioritizing safety
