Health and Safety Procedures
When operating overhead loads, wearing a hard hat is mandatory. Follow end-user health and safety procedures and best practices in addition to these recommendations.
Consumables and Parts
Dispose of parts and oils according to environmental protection regulations. Hydraulic hoses should be serviced or replaced by a competent individual to prevent accidents. Lift chains must be clean and free from contamination, using a citrus cleaner and PTFE-based lubrication spray.
Ex Certified Units
Operational hazards include ignition risks due to static electricity. Ensure earthing chains are securely fitted and electrical cables are kept away from travel areas. Report any damaged cables immediately.
Lifting and Transporting the Unit
Ensure the unit is on a level surface and use appropriate lifting gear. Only qualified personnel should handle the unit. Secure the unit with guide ropes if necessary. During transport, fasten the unit securely using tension belts or tie-down straps.
Unit Overview
The unit is a four-wheeled pedestrian stacker with a drum rotator band, designed for use on level surfaces with drums ranging from 50 - 220 litres. It is certified for use in specific Ex zones and ensures electrical continuity through earthing chains.
Unit Operation
Operators must read and understand the instruction manual before use. Conduct pre-start inspections for damage and ensure all components are functioning correctly. The unit requires a dry and clean air supply for operation.
Moving the Unit
Ensure the load does not exceed the unit’s capacity and transport loads at a low height for stability. Engage parking brakes when maneuvering is complete.
Operating the Lift and Lower Functions
Use the lift and lower buttons to move the carriage. An emergency stop button is available to halt all powered movement. Do not leave a raised load unattended.
Clamping a Drum
Ensure the drum is vertical and adjust the clamping band to fit the drum securely. Use the ratchet to tension the clamping band until the drum shows signs of deflection. Ensure all locking clips are fitted before lifting.
Tipping a Drum
Rotate the handle to tip the drum forwards or backwards. The drum will remain in its current position if the handle is released.
Specifications:
The maximum allowable torque for rotating an offset load through the gearbox is 320Nm. An example scenario involves a half-filled drum weighing 147kg with a center of mass offset by 221mm. Exceeding this offset load is considered misuse and may damage the unit.

Operating Instructions:
The unit can be equipped with a 25-litre drum insert to reduce the clamping width. The insert is secured with locking pins and 'R' clips. It is intended for small drums that do not fit the standard arrangement.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting:
A detailed maintenance checklist is provided, with intervals defined as weekly (W) and annually (A). Key maintenance tasks include testing brakes, checking hydraulic systems, inspecting chassis and superstructure, and ensuring electrical and pneumatic systems are functioning correctly. Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues such as unit not starting, load not lifting, and unit not moving.

Consumables:
All consumables must be original STS parts. Hydraulic oil should be 32-grade, and the ratchet strap should be replaced if damaged. Polycarbonate guarding and wheels should be replaced if damaged.

Technical Specifications:
Key dimensions include a straddle of 850mm, maximum width of 1100mm, and maximum height of 2450mm. The safe working load (SWL) is 350kg, with a net mass of 279kg.

Decommissioning:
If the unit is out of service for over a month, it should be stored in a frost-free, dry room. Decommissioning and recommissioning should be performed by a competent individual.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirement: PPE must be worn at all times during equipment use. Refer to 'Section I – Correct Use and Application' for detailed information.
Prior to Decommissioning:
  • Clean the unit thoroughly.
  • Test brakes if applicable.
  • Check and replenish hydraulic oil if necessary.
  • Fully charge and then disconnect the battery; charge every 2 months to prevent damage.
  • Apply oil or grease to non-painted mechanical components.
Final Decommissioning and Disposal: Must comply with local regulations, especially for batteries, fuels, and electronic systems. Only trained personnel should disassemble the unit.
Recommissioning:
  • Reconnect the battery, ensuring it is undamaged.
  • Follow the annual servicing checklist in 'Maintenance Checklist'.
  • Follow the pre-start checklist in 'Pre-start Inspections'.
Safety Tests: Conduct safety checks annually or after unusual incidents, as per national regulations. Inspections should focus solely on safety.
