News Detail

Operators must check stack and reach closely with a Reach Stacker. Stack is how many containers are on top of each other. Reach tells how far the machine can go to grab or put a container. Measuring right helps keep the worksite safe and fast. Special tools like the Container Rotating Spreader from Hunan Tona Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. help get exact results.

Key Takeaways

• Always use certified measuring tools like laser meters and measuring tapes. These tools help you get correct stack and reach measurements.

• Do safety checks on the reach stacker before you use it. Check for leaks and broken cables. Make sure the area is clear so accidents do not happen.

• Use the same setup steps for every measurement. Park on flat ground each time. Use a frame stack and reach chart to help you plan.

• Write down stack and reach measurements carefully. Good records help you see how things work and spot problems later.

• Do not make common mistakes. Double-check your measurements and do not rush. Going too fast can cause errors and make things unsafe or less efficient.

  
  

Preparing the Reach Stacker

Tools and Equipment

Operators need good tools to measure stack and reach. They use a measuring tape and a laser distance meter. A frame stack and reach chart helps them write down the numbers. Some people use special equipment like the Container Rotating Spreader from Hunan Tona Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. This tool helps them be more exact when moving containers. It also makes it easier to measure stack and reach. Operators should make sure all tools work before they start. Good equipment helps stop mistakes and keeps things running well.

Tip: Always use certified measuring devices for frame stack and reach calculations. This keeps everyone safe and helps you get the right numbers.

Safety Checks

Safety is very important when getting ready to measure stack and reach. Operators look at the machine for leaks and broken cables. They check for loose bolts too. They look at the brakes and tires. Operators wear a helmet, gloves, and a safety vest. The work area must be clear of things that could get in the way. The Container Rotating Spreader has extra safety parts to help stop accidents. Operators use a safety checklist every time before they measure stack or reach.

Setup Steps

Operators do these steps to get the reach stacker ready:

1. Park the reach stacker on flat ground.

2. Turn off the engine and set the brakes.

3. Put on the Container Rotating Spreader or another lifting tool.

4. Make sure the measuring tools are set right.

5. Move the stacker close to the container stack.

6. Use the frame stack and reach chart to plan.

7. Write down where you start for stack and reach.

Operators do these steps again for each new measurement. Doing setup the right way helps them get good results and keeps everyone safe

Measure Stack and Reach

How to Measure Stack

Operators use a reach stacker to move containers in the yard. To measure stack, they count how many containers are stacked up. First, they park the reach stacker next to the pile. The operator looks at the bottom container and counts each one to the top. This total is the stack height. Operators also use a measuring tape or laser meter to check the height from the ground to the top container. They compare this height with the number of containers to make sure it matches. The Container Rotating Spreader from Hunan Tona Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. helps line up containers better. This makes counting and measuring stack easier and more exact.

Tip: Always check the stack count and height twice. This helps stop mistakes and keeps the yard neat.

How to Measure Reach

To measure reach, the operator finds out how far the reach stacker can stretch its arm. The operator moves the Heavy-Duty reach stacker close to the stack. They extend the boom to reach the farthest container. The operator uses a measuring tape or laser meter to measure the space from the front wheel to the center of the container. Special tools like the Container Rotating Spreader let the operator grab containers at different angles. This helps reach containers in tight spots and makes measuring reach easier. Operators can move containers at full width and turn them as needed. This helps them work faster and better.

Operators should always write down the biggest reach for each job. This helps them compare stack and reach for different containers and yard setups.

Recording Results

Keeping good records helps operators track stack and reach over time. Good records also help with safety and finding problems. Operators follow these steps:

1. Set clear goals for what to track, like stack height and reach.

2. Use asset tags and automatic scanning to make fewer mistakes.

3. Give each container a special ID for easy tracking.

4. Add labels with important info for each container.

5. Teach all workers how to record and check stack and reach.

6. Start with a small test before using the system everywhere.

7. Follow rules and standards for tracking containers.

8. Make sure all record systems work together.

Operators use a frame stack and reach chart to write down each measurement. This chart helps them spot patterns and find problems fast.

Note: Good records help operators keep the yard safe and work better.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Operators sometimes make mistakes when measuring stack and reach. Here are some tips to help avoid errors:

• Always check the reach stacker is on flat ground before measuring.

• Use certified measuring tools and check them before each use.

• Double-check the stack count and reach before writing results.

• Make sure the Container Rotating Spreader or other tools are attached right.

• Do not hurry. Take time to measure stack and reach carefully.

• Look at the frame shape and yard layout before starting. This helps plan the best way to stack containers.

• Remember, ideas from bike sizing and bike fit, like checking measurements for safety, also help with containers. Operators should always check that stack and reach fit the yard’s needs.

Operators who follow these steps can measure stack and reach with a reach stacker more exactly. They can also improve bike geometry and bike fit for their equipment, making the yard safer and work smoother.

Results and Adjustments

Interpreting Data

Operators take measurements for stack and reach while moving containers. They check these numbers on their charts. Then, they compare them to the yard plan. If the stack height is the same as expected, the process is right. When the reach distance matches the yard layout, it is safe to move containers. Operators use tables to keep stack and reach data neat. This helps them find patterns and spot problems fast.

Tip: Operators should look at the data after each shift. This keeps the yard safe and helps stop mistakes.

Making Adjustments

Sometimes operators must change how they use the reach stacker. If the stack is too high, they take down the top container. If the reach is not enough, they move the boom or get the stacker closer. Operators use the Container Rotating Spreader to help with these changes. This tool lets them turn containers and reach tight places. Operators follow these steps to make changes:

1. Look at stack and reach measurements.

2. Move the reach stacker to a better spot if needed.

3. Change the boom for the right reach distance.

4. Use the spreader to turn containers for better stacking.

5. Check the new measurements and write them down.

Operators do these steps again until stack and reach are right for the yard.

Real-World Application

Operators use stack and reach data every day. They plan where to put containers and how to move them safely. When the reach stacker works with the Container Rotating Spreader, operators can move more containers in less time. They keep the yard neat and avoid accidents. Operators teach new workers how to measure stack and reach. They use charts and records to show the best way to work. This helps everyone stay safe and work faster.

Note: Good stack and reach measurements help operators save time and keep the yard working well.

Operators who do every step can measure stack and reach well. Using new tools from Hunan Tona Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. makes work safer and faster. Companies get these benefits:

• Sealed containers stop spills and keep cargo safe.

• Real-time tracking helps keep things secure.

• Work gets done faster with less waste.

These ways help operators keep the yard safe and neat.
