TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Electrical stacker trucks type 139 with a seated
driver are used to stack loads of up to 1200 kg for
the L12R and up to 1600 kg for the L16R.
Its compactness, its comfortable driving position
and high translation speed make this stacker truck
an efficient tool particularly suitable for load
transfers.
The initial lift (option) on models L12R and L16RI
is sufficient for use as pallet trucks for loads of up
to 2000 kg and to go up loading area access
ramps.

139 804 25 01.0800

Its compact construction, its design with ground


support at 4 points, its small turning radius and its
electrical steering make this stacker truck into a
very compact and very easily maneuverable high
performance tool.

Drive:
The 2kW traction motor is vertically mounted on
the reduction gear unit. The main wheel is driven
via 2 stages of pinion gear reduction.
Power is supplied by a 24 volt lead-acid storage
battery with a capacity of 400 to 720 Ah according
to types of chassis.
The motors supply is controlled by the LDC
microprocessor-controlled electronic variator
which, thanks to its parameterization, adapts
perfectly to all requirements.

DESCRIPTION
Lifting:

Driving:

Side lifting jacks and free lifting jacks are powered


by an electric pump with a 3.0 kW motor.
An additional jack is used to lift the load carrier arms
on the L12R and L16RI models (with optional initial
lift).
Industrial good visibility type masts are made of iron
I-sections. There are 4 types of elevator assemblies
(E = simplex, S = standard, D = duplex with free lift,
T = triplex with free lift).

- The conductor sits crossways on an adjustable


seat. This driving arrangement gives excellent
visibility in both running directions.
- The driver controls the lifting system with his right
hand, while his left hand remains on the steering
wheel to control the truck.
- On single pedal stacker trucks, the running direction is controlled using the inverter button close to
the right hand; the displacement speed is
controlled by pushing down the accelerator pedal.
- On stacker trucks with two-pedal control, the
running direction and displacement speed are
controlled by the two running control pedals.
- An emergency-stop button completely cuts off the
electrical circuit and actuates the brake when
depressed.

Braking:
Stacker trucks L12R, L16R are equipped with
three braking systems.
- Progressive electromagnetic undercurrent braking
controlled by the brake pedal. This brake also acts
as a parking brake. It is activated by the seat
contact or by switching off the ignition. The parking brake is released by a rocker switch.
- Electronic countercurrent braking, triggered by
reversal of the direction of travel, and controlled
by the LDC variator.
- Automatic braking, activated when the accelerator
is released, controlled by the LDC variator.

Steering:
The LES electric steering for the pallet truck
makes the steering wheel easy to turn and gives
it good precision.
The drive unit is mounted on a slew ring, with
turning provided by an electric reduction motor
which moves the turret. The steering motor is
controlled by an electronic pulse control which
takes data from both the steering wheel and the
orientation of the driven wheel.

INDICATORS
NOTE
When the battery connector is disconnected, the
hours are retained in memory. If the hour meter has
to be replaced, make a note of the service hours
recorded by the defective meter, in the place
provided for this purpose adjacent to the hour
meter, and in the service booklet.

- When the red LED's (1) and (2) flash alternately, the
battery is 80% discharged; when this threshold is
reached, the limiter prevents operation of the lift
motor.
- In this event, it will be necessary to recharge the
battery in order to be able to continue using the
truck.

Hour meter operation

Operation of the discharge limiter/


indicator

- The hour meter indicates the trucks hours of


operation.
- The meter is activated whenever the power is
turned on and the tiller is placed in the drive
position.
- During metering, the egg-timer icon (8) flashes
slowly.
- The LCD indicator (5) displays the hours (6) and 1/
10ths of an hour (7). While the truck battery is
connected, it displays the hours stored in memory.

- The LED indicator (9) lights as soon as the battery


is connected and the truck is switched on, and
shows the charge state of the battery.
- When the battery is fully charged, the green LED
(4) lights.
- During discharge, the green and orange LED's (3)
light successively (from right to left, one diode at
a time).
- When the red LED's (2) lights and flashes, the
battery is approximately 70% discharged.

NOTE:
A potentiometer at the rear of the housing allows the
cut-off threshold to be adjusted for any special
operating conditions. The normal position is with

Daily checks and tasks prior to operation

BEFORE OPERATION

Daily checks and tasks prior to operation


The operations described below apply to lead-acid
batteries with liquid electrolyte.
For maintenance-free batteries with gel
electrolyte, refer to the manufacturers instructions.

139 804 25 01.0800

CAUTION
Avoid any contact with the acid. Do not
create any short-circuit. Refer to the
recommendations in the daily checks section.

Checking electrolyte level and topping up


with water.
- This check, and any necessary topping-up, is to be
carried out once a week, after recharging the
battery.
- Turn off the key-switch, open the cover, and
disconnect the battery connector.
- Check the level. It should be up to the base of the
filler plug, just above the top of the separator.
- Use demineralised water to top up any cells with
a low water level.
- Replace the filler plugs.
ATTENTION
Use only demineralised water for topping
up.
Never add water before charging (risk of
overspill).
Do not overfill the cells.
For more information, refer to the instructions
supplied with the battery.

Checking the specific gravity of the


electrolyte
- Measuring the specific gravity gives an accurate
indication of the state of charge of each cell in the
battery. This measurement may be carried out
before or after charging.
- Minimum specific gravity, battery 80% discharged:
1.14
- High specific gravity, battery 100% charged: 1.29 to
1.32 (according to make).
- We recommend measurement every week or two.
Keep a record of the values measured in the
service booklet for your battery.
- Using an acid hydrometer, carefully measure the
specific gravity in each cell.
- Replace the filler plugs when finished.
- Remove the filler plug for each cell as described
above.
NOTE:
If there are voltage discrepancies between the
various cells, or if any cells show a particularly low
voltage, contact our local representative. Any
discharge below the threshold of 1.14 will be
extremely detrimental to the lifespan of the battery.
For more information, refer to the instructions
supplied with the battery.

HANDLING LOADS

USE

Picking up a load on the ground ( L12R - L16R )

Transporting a load

Putting the load down on the floor

- Approach the load carefully.


- Lower the fork arms until they can easily enter the
pallet.
- Insert the forks under the load.
- If the load is shorter than the forks, position the
truck so that the far end of the load is a few
centrimetres beyond the end of the fork arms, to
avoid snagging the load behind of the one to be
picked up.
- Lift the load a few centimetres off the ground.
- Withdraw the truck from the pallet rack or adjoining
loads slowly and in a straight line.

- It is preferable to transport a load in the forward


direction for reasons of visibility.
- When transporting a load on a steep slope always
ascend or descend with the load on the uphill side,
do not cut across and do not perform U-turns.
- Reverse motion is used only for putting down the
load, at very low speed because of reduced
visibility.
- L12RI* - L16RI*: always raise the initial lift to
increase the ground clearance, to make it easy to
pass over obstacles.

- Move the truck carefully to the required place.


- Manoeuvre the load carefully into the area where
it is to be put down.

General remarks

139 804 25 01.0800

Your truck will remain serviceable only if the small


number of maintenance and inspection tasks
described in this manual are carried out regularly.
Maintenance must be carried out only by qualified
and approved personnel.
Maintenance can be handled by the FENWICKLINDE network under a service agreement. If you
wish to carry out this work yourself, we recommend
that you have the first three services carried out by
our representatives in the presence of your maintenance personnel, in order to train them.
CAUTION
For all maintenance work park the truck on
a level floor, in an area set aside for this
purpose, chock the wheels, remove the
key from the key switch and disconnect the
battery.

TYPES OF LIFTING MASTS


ATTENTION
Conform to the regulations governing the
use of maintenance products.
ATTENTION
Use only lubricants that conform to the
specifications.

Working on the lifting mast


CAUTION
Work on the front part of the truck with the
mast or the fork-support apron raised must
be carried out only after fitting a safety
device to prevent accidental lowering of
the mast.

Simplex mast
OPERATION
The fork-support apron is raised as far as the free lift
position by the jockey wheel of the chain of the
central cylinder. It moves at twice the speed of the
cylinder.

Securing the simplex mast


CAUTION
Select a chain that is very much stronger
than the weight of the fork support apron.
- Raise the fork to the stop
- Close the chain, after passing it over the mast crosspiece
(1) and around the fork heel (2)
- Lower the fork until it is supported on the chain.

After any maintenance work, test the truck to ensure


that it is operating correctly.
Modifying your truck, fitting accessories or structural modifications are prohibited without the prior
agreement of the manufacturer.
NOTE
In the case of difficult working conditions: extreme
ambient temperatures, cold or hot and dusty
environments, maintenance periods are reduced.
Carefully clean the external parts concerned before
carrying out lubrication, replacing the filter or
working on the hydraulic system.
Use appropriate containers for lubricants.

TYPES OF LIFTING MASTS

MAINTENANCE
Duplex mast

OPERATION
When the internal upright is raised, the chain return
pulley is also raised such that the fork support apron
rises twice as fast as the mast internal assembly.

NOTE
The advantage of this mast is that it can be used in
places with low ceilings such as cellars, railway
wagons, holds of ships, etc. enabling maximum
exploitation of its free lifting capacity.

Securing the standard mast

OPERATION
The fork-support apron is raised as far as the free lift
position by the jockey wheel of the chain of the
central cylinder. It moves at twice the speed of the
cylinder.
The inner mast is then raised by the two lateral
cylinders along with the fork-support apron. The
central cylinder is mounted on the mobile inner
mast.

CAUTION
Choose a chain with a SWL very much
greater than the weight of the mast.
- Raise the mast.
.- Loop the chain after passing it over the
crossmember of the fixed mast (1) and under the
crossmember of the inner mast (2).
- Lower the inner mast until the safety chain is taut.

CAUTION
Choose a chain whose SWL is very much
greater than the weight of the mast.
- Raise the mast.
- Loop the chain after passing it over the
crossmember of the fixed frame (1) and the
crossmember of the inner frame (2).
- Lower the mast until the safety chain is taut.
- Lower the fork-support apron onto its bottom
abutment.

mast. The inner mast is lifted at the same time due
to the chain return.
The central jack is located inside the mobile inner
mast.

DANGER
Choose a chain with a carrying capacity
adapted to the mast type being used.
Respect the maximum allowable
elevation.
- Lift the mast
- Close the chain, after passing it above the outer

Cleaning the truck


Disconnect the battery before cleaning. Use steam
jet or highly degreasing cleaning products only with
great care, since they dilute the grease of bearings
with lifetime lubrication. Given that subsequent
greasing is not an option, these cleaning methods
cause deterioration of the bearings.
ATTENTION
When using cleaning equipment, do not
expose the electrical circuits, motors and
insulating panels to direct jets; protect
them before cleaning.
When using compressed air, first remove stubborn
dirt with a cold detergent.
Before lubricating jobs, clean the oil filler openings
and their surroundings, as well as oilers, with particular care. Dry the truck after cleaning

38

MAINTENANCE
If despite all precautions, water has penetrated into
the motors, the truck must be put into operation to
avoid the formation of rust (drying with its own heat).
The motors may also be dried with compressed air.
NOTE
If a truck is cleaned frequently it must also be
greased more often.

Clean and lubricate chains


NOTE
Clean the lifting chain if it is excessively soiled.
- Place a container under the lifting device.
- Use a paraffin-based product (petroleum, gas oil,
etc). Follow the manufacturers safety instructions.
- Do not add additives if using a steam jet.

- Dry the chain and its articulations immediately


with compressed air. During this operation shake
the chain several times.
- Lubricate all the chain immediately using a special
chain lubricant aerosol.
ATTENTION
Chains are safety devices and can severely
be damaged by the use of cold detergents,
chemical products, acid or chlorinated
products.
ATTENTION
To clean the masts transparent protection
screen, use only a liquid soap without
additives and a soft cloth.
NOTE
The use of cleaning devices employing a pressurised
liquid is not recommended.

MAINTENANCE

41

The operations described below apply to lead-acid


batteries with liquid electrolyte.
For maintenance-free batteries with gel
electrolyte, refer to the manufacturers instructions.
CAUTION
Avoid any contact with the acid. Do not
create any short-circuit. See the
recommendations in the daily checks
section.

Checking electrolyte level and topping up


with water.
- This check, and any necessary topping-up, is to be
carried out once a week, after recharging the
battery.
- Turn off the key-switch, open the cover and
disconnect the battery connector.
- Check the level. It should be up to the base of the
filler plug, just above the top of the separator.
- Use demineralised water to top up any cells with
a low water level.
- Replace the filler plugs.

42

MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION
Use only demineralised water for topping
up.
Never add water before charging (risk of
overspill).
Do not overfill the cells.
For more information, refer to the instructions
supplied with the battery.

Checking the electrolyte specific gravity


- Measuring the specific gravity gives an accurate
indication of the state of charge of each cell in the
battery. This measurement may be carried out
before or after charging.
- Minimum specific gravity, battery 80% discharged:
1.14
- High specific gravity, battery 100% charged: 1.29 to
1.32 (according to make).
- We recommend measurement every week or two.
Keep a record of the values measured in the
service booklet for your battery.

- Remove the filler plug for each cell as described


above.
- Using an acid hydrometer, carefully measure the
specific gravity in each cell.
- Replace the filler plugs when finished.
NOTE:
If there are voltage discrepancies between the
various cells, or if any cells show a particularly low
voltage, contact our local representative. Any
discharge below the threshold of 1.14 will be
extremely detrimental to the lifespan of the battery.
For more information, refer to the instructions
