Forklifts, lifts and pallet trucks generally constitute the group of stackers. They are used for lifting and carrying loads on forks. Many workplaces have stackers of different capacities. If stackers are not safe and not used safely, there are risks such as overturning of equipment, falling of the load and leading to fatal consequences.
They are used for carrying and stacking loads. There are the types of manpower and cordless types used by the user on foot, as well as the types used by sitting on the user. In accordance with the laws periy Periodic controls of the work equipment whose periodic control interval and criteria are not determined by standards are carried out in the intervals and criteria stipulated by the manufacturer, if any. If these issues are not determined by the manufacturer, periodic control of the work equipment, workplace environment conditions, frequency and duration of use, taking into account factors such as the risk assessment will be made according to the results to be determined at intervals. The specified periodic control interval shall not exceed one year except the exceptions (*) specified in this Regulation. "
Stacking machines are used for carrying loads and stacking. Lifting and execution are performed manually with the power of the user. Some of the stackers are operated manually. Manual stackers perform lifting and conveying with the power of the user. They are produced in different types depending on their carrying and lifting capacities. Some of the stackers perform the lifting operation with battery power and the transmission with the power of the user. These semi-battery stackers are produced in different types depending on their carrying and lifting capacities. In addition to these, there are stackers that perform lifting and conveying operations with full battery power. Full battery stackers also have different models.
As a result, the stacker is used for lifting heavy loads, transporting them safely from one point to another and for stacking. Lifting is usually done with battery in stackers. However, manpower is often used to move the machine back and forth and to transmit the load. It is preferred in supermarkets, warehouses and production facilities. There is an emergency stop button on the stackers to ensure safety. In case of any safety concerns in terms of human health or property safety, the emergency stop button is pressed and the energy is turned off and the stacker is deactivated.
Since the stackers carry heavy loads and put the health of the workers and the safety of the goods at risk while they are being used, periodic checks should be done. This legal obligation is in accordance with the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Under normal conditions, stacking machines must be able to lift and hold at least 1,25 times the declared load and must have load brakes resistant to this load. In addition, these controls should be made at least once a year, like all lifting and conveying machines, by mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians.
