Technical data sheet for

double-deck stacking trucks
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Electrical double-deck stacking trucks type L 12 L
and L 12 LP are used to stack and transport
superposed loads on the forks and on the support
arms (double-deck).
Its very compact dimensions and its minimal turning
radius make this stacking tool particularly efficient
and suitable for intensive handling in a small area.
The L 12 L truck is driven by a pedestrian driver.
141 804 25 91.1299
The L 12 LP stacker truck is equipped with a driving

platform.
Version 01: lift up platform, enabling driving with
the conductor on the truck or walking
alongside.
Version 02: fixed platform with side protection.
Version 03: fixed platform with back rest.
Drive:
These stacker trucks are driven by 1.5 kW (L12L) or
2.kW (L12LP) traction motors mounted vertically on
the reduction gear.
On the L12LP, the motor reducer assembly is sprung
and a hydraulic ram automatically regulates the
pressure of the drive wheel so as to adapt the trucks
drive ability to suit the operating conditions and the
load carried.
Power is supplied by a 24 volt lead-acid storage
battery with a capacity of 190 to 500 Ah according to
type 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:
The hydraulic system comprises lifting jacks for the

mast and jacks for the initial lift.
They are powered by a pump-motor unit with a
2.2 kW motor.
The hydraulic unit is an assembly including the
motor, tank, pump, solenoid valves, check valves
and filters.
Masts are of the industrial wide visibility type made
from sections with very good torsion resistance
(elevation height up to 1924 mm with standard masts).
There are two types of elevator assemblies
(S = standard, D = double-deck with free lift).
They are designed to lift and transport two pallets at
the same time, one on the support arms and the
other on the fork.
The truck may be driven by a pedestrian driver or by

a driver on board the truck, depending on the
model.
The truck drivers presence is detected by a detector
integrated in the fold-up platform (L12LP01). Models
with a fixed platform are equipped with a driver
presence pedal.
An emergency-stop button completely cuts off the
electrical circuit and actuates the brake when
depressed.
The various controls: forwards, reverse, lifting,
lowering, initial lift, horn and reverse safety are all
mounted on the tiller.
Braking:
Stacker trucks L 12 L, L 12 LP are equipped with
three braking systems.
- Safety/parking braking, provided by an
electromagnetic brake which is actuated when
the electrical power is interrupted. This brake is
automatically engaged when the tiller is released
and allowed to return to its upper position, or
when the safety pedal is released.
- Electronic countercurrent braking, triggered by a
change in the direction of travel and controlled by
the LBC brake unit and the LDC variator.
- Automatic braking obtained on releasing the
accelerator and controlled by the LDC variator.
Steering:
A robust and ergonomical twin-grip tiller steers the
driving wheel directly.

DANGER
Charging and servicing of the battery must
be carried out in conformity with the instructions supplied with the battery and the
charger (if using an external charger).
The electrolyte contains sulphuric acid, which is a
dangerous substance. During any work on the
battery, wear gloves and goggles. In the event of
any splashes on the skin or into the eyes, rinse
immediately in pure water and consult a doctor if
necessary. During charging, batteries emit hydrogen
gas, which can create an explosive mixture. Do not
create sparks, smoke, or place any flame near a
battery on charge or one which has been recently
charged. To avoid any accumulation of hydrogen,
leave the battery cover open during charging, which
should be carried out in a well-ventilated area. Do
not place any metallic object on the battery, as this
may create a short-circuit.

- this may cause violent sparking and
damage the contacts.
Regularly check the condition of the connector contacts,

and replace them if they show any traces of arcing or of
carbon deposits.
Take care to observe the + and - polarities. Always connect
+ to + and - to -. Do not reverse the connections.
Each half of the connector is fitted with a locating pin to
avoid any risk of connection reversal. Make sure these are
present and in good condition.

- Ensure that the charger is compatible with the
truck battery in terms of voltage and charging
current. (See charger instructions.)
- When connecting the battery to the charger, take
care to comply with the + and - polarities (do not
reverse the connections).
- The connectors are fitted with locating pins to
prevent any reversal. Check regularly that these
are present and in good condition.
Checking the condition of battery cables,

terminals and connector.
- Check that cable insulation is undamaged, and
that the connections show no sign of overheating.
- Check that the + and - battery terminal pillars are
not sulphated (indicated by the presence of a
white salt-like deposit).
- Check the condition of the connector contacts,
and the presence of the locating pin.
ATTENTION
Failure to observe the above procedures
may result in serious damage. Please contact your local representative as quickly as
possible to remedy any such damage.
141 804 25 91.1299
BEFORE 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.
CAUTION
Avoid any contact with the acid. Do not
create any short-circuit. See the
recommendations in the daily checks
section.
141 804 25 91.1299
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.
- 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.
Checking the specific gravity of the

electrolyte
NOTE:
If there are voltage discrepancies between the
various cells, or if any cells show a particularly low
voltage, contact your local representative. Any
discharge below the threshold of 1.14 will be
extremely detrimental to the lifespan of the battery.
- 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).

centrimetres beyond the end of the fork arms, to
avoid snagging the load in front of the one to be
picked up.
- Raise the support arms to raise the load a few
centimeters above the ground
- Slowly pull the pallet truck out of the pallet rack or
nearby loads without turning.
- 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 upstream
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.
- Move the truck carefully to the required place.

- Manoeuvre the load carefully into the area where
it is to be put down.
- Lower the load until the fork arms are free.
- Slowly pull the pallet truck away, without turning
- Lift the support arms by a few centimeters.

bearing wheels, place the jack under the fork
arms at the marked locations (1).
CAUTION
Always immobilise and wedge the truck
carefully after jacking it up.
Towing
- In the event of an electrical breakdown the truck
cannot be towed because the electromagnetic
brake is applied.
- The truck can only be moved with the front raised,
and then carefully.
The forklift truck must be jacked up for some

maintenance operations.

General remarks
Your materials handling 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, wedge the wheels, remove the
key from the key switch and disconnect the
battery.
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

ATTENTION
Conform to the regulations governing the
use of maintenance products.
ATTENTION
Use only lubricants that conform to the
specifications.
See table of recommended lubricants.
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.
Standard lifting mast

OPERATION
When the inside frame is raised, the jockey wheel
of the chain is also raised and so the fork-support
apron is raised in a ratio of 2 : 1.
Safety device for standard lifting 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 frame (1) and under
the crossmember of the inner frame (2).
- Lower the inner frame until the safety chain is
taut.

MAINTENANCE
TYPES OF LIFTING MASTS

Duplex lifting mast
MAINTENANCE
Safety device for Duplex lifting mast
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.
CAUTION
Choose a chain whose SWL is very much
greater than the weight of the 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 frame is then raised by the two lateral
cylinders and entrains the fork-support apron with
it. The central cylinder is mounted on the mobile
inner frame.
- 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.

MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED
Cleaning
Unplug the battery before cleaning the truck. Use
steam jets or strong degreasing cleaning agents
with great care, as they can dilute the grease in
bearings lubricated for life. Because subsequent
lubrication is impossible, these cleaning methods
damage the bearings.
141 804 25 91.1299
ATTENTION
When using a cleaning device, protect the
electrical circuits, motors and insulating
panels from direct impact by the cleaning
jets before starting cleaning.
When using compressed air, remove stubborn dirt
first by means of a cold detergent.
Before undertaking lubrication tasks, clean the oil
filler orifices and their surroundings and the
greasing nipples. Dry the truck after cleaning.
MAINTENANCE
Should water penetrate into the motor despite all
the above precautions, the truck must be started
to prevent rusting (drying by own heat). The motors
can also be dried using compressed air.
NOTE
A truck that is cleaned frequently also requires
more frequent lubrication.
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 (U.V.V.), use only a liquid soap
without additives and a soft cloth.
NOTE
The use of cleaning devices employing a
pressurised liquid is not recommended.
39
MAINTENANCE
Clean and lubricate the mast
Opening the front cover
Checking the wheel nuts
- Preferably use a steam jet without any additives to

eliminate dirt on the mast, and dry it with
compressed air.
- Spray the guide surfaces, jockey wheels and
chains with the chain lubricant aerosol.
- Take out the 2 fastening screws (1).

- Turn the drive wheel perpendicular to the direction of travel so as to make it easier to remove the
cover.
- Lift the top cover (2) and then remove it.
NOTE
For trucks used in the foodstuffs industry, use a dry
lubricant instead of the aerosol.
Refitting of the cover is the reverse of the sequence

for removal
- Raise the truck until the wheels are no longer

touching the ground, and chock it up
- Check the tightness of the nuts on the drive wheel
(1). Recommended torque setting: 140 Nm
- Check the tightness of the mounting bolts on the
load wheels. Recommended torque setting:
50 Nm
- Raise the truck until the wheels are no longer

touching the ground, and chock it up
- Check the free rotation of the wheels, and remove
any object which might interfere with them.
- Replace any worn or damaged wheels
- Check first in front and after backwards.
141 804 25 91.1299
ATTENTION
Before carrying out any operation on the
truck:
- Depress the emergency stop button
- Disconnect the battery connector
Checking the condition of the wheels
2
40
ATTENTION
If any wire becomes wrapped around the
wheel hubs or bearings, this must be
removed. Failure to do so may result in
rapid wear to the wheels.
Attachment and adjustment of the

stabilizing wheels
141 804 25 91.1299
- In order to compensate for any wear on the driven

wheel, the packing pieces fitted between the
stabiliser and the chassis may be removed. Retain
these for future use.
- Check the tightness of the mounting bolts of the
stabiliser wheels (2). Recommended torque
setting: 110 Nm.
MAINTENANCE
Replacing the drive wheel
To obtain the best drive, the drive unit fixed on
support (6) is damped differently depending on the
truck type:
L12L (rubber drive wheel)

Shock absorption for the drive unit is provided by a
spring. The jack (3) is replaced by a template.
CAUTION
When changing a drive wheel, it is essential

to use the same original fitment.
L12LP (polyurethane drive wheel)

Shock absorption for the drive unit is provided by
the jack (3) and the spring (4).
L12LP (rubber drive wheel)
Shock absorption for the drive unit is provided
solely by a special spring. The jack (3) is fixed in
place by the stuffing box (5) and no longer has any
effect.
L12L (polyurethane drive wheel)
Shock absorption for the drive unit is provided
solely by a spring and its compression shim. The
jack (3) is replaced by a template and therefore no
longer has any effect.
ATTENTION
In all cases, we recommend that you entrust
this operation to a specialist in our network.
NOTE
Check the tightening torque of the drive wheel a few
hours after replacing it.
Fuses
Remove the variator cover to gain access to the
fuses located on the electrical panel.
- The 225 A fuse protects the traction motor power
circuit.
- The 175 A fuse protects the pump motor power
circuit.
- The 7,5 A fuse protects the control circuits.

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.
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 your local representative. Any
discharge below the threshold of 1.14 will be
extremely detrimental to the lifespan of the battery.
141 804 25 91.1299
Checking the condition of battery cables,
terminals and connector
Cleaning the battery and battery

compartment
- Check that cable insulation is undamaged, and

that the connections show no sign of overheating.
- Check that the + and - battery terminal pillars are
not sulphated (indicated by the presence of a
white salt-like deposit).
- Check the condition of the connector contacts,
and the presence of the locating pin.
CAUTION
This is a delicate operation, and requires
the wearing of gloves, goggles and acidresistant clothing.
Observe the precautions stipulated in the preceding
chapters. Do not dispose of acid-polluted washing
water in drains.
For further information, refer to the instructions
ATTENTION
Failure to observe the above procedures
may result in serious damage. Please contact your local representative as quickly as
possible to remedy any such damage.
141 804 25 91.1299
MAINTENANCE
Battery in unsealed box
Battery in sealed box

- Check that there is no electrolyte in the bottom of
the box by connecting the suction bulb supplied
with the battery to the plastic plunge tube.
- Pump out any electrolyte which may have
overflowed between the cells.
- Clean the upper surface of the cells with a damp
cloth.
ATTENTION
In the event of heavy sulphation or
substantial electrolyte overflow, please
contact your local representative.
- Check for traces of sulphation in the box and on

the chassis.
- If sulphation is mild, it is sufficient to clean the
upper surface of the cells with a damp cloth.
- In the case of heavier sulphation, it is necessary to
remove the battery, pressure-wash it and clean
the chassis.

Adjusting the electromagnetic brake

IMPORTANT
The maximum braking force is set at the factory, and
must not be modified.
- The brake must be checked in the on position,

i.e. with the electrical power turned off.
- Check the brake gap using feeler gauges. The gap
measurement when new is 0.35 mm; the maximum gap after partial wear of the disc is 0.6 mm.
Any greater gap entails the risk of incomplete
release of the brake, with consequent overheating.
- If the gap is close to the limit of 0.6 mm., it must be
adjusted.
- Disconnect the power to the brake.
- Remove the three securing bolts (5).
- Turn the three hollow bolts (6) to adjust the gap to
its original measurement of 0.35 mm.
- Re-tighten the three securing bolts (5).
- Check the gap again at three points separated by
120.
- Ensure that the gap is uniform all around the
brake.
- Apply power by depressing the safety pedal, and
check that the brake is fully released.
