Technical data sheet for the electrical

stacker truck with straddle arms
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The L 16 AS series electric stacker truck is ideal for
heavy handling requiring good stability at large
heights. Its stability in turns is excellent due to its
track, low height and low center of gravity.
Its surrounding support arms and ISO apron are
designed to transport and load all types of pallets
and crates, particularly if they are fitted with ducts
or closed entries at the bottom. It is versatile, and
can also be used to work with hydraulic accessories.
It is sufficiently compact to fit into a hoist.
It is easy to handle, and no special training is
necessary to drive it.
Its nominal capacity is 1600 kg.
141 804 30 11 - 02.00
Frame, wheels and elevator mast
DESCRIPTION
Steering:
Driving:
A robust and ergonomical twin-grip tiller steers the

driving wheel directly.
The various controls (forward running, reverse

running, raise and lower the elevator mast and the
horn) are grouped on the tiller.
Lifting:
The hydraulic unit is an assembly including the
motor, tank, pump, solenoid valves, check valves
and filters.
Good visibility industrial type masts made of steel
I-sections. Elevation heights with standard masts
up to 2344 mm. There are three types of elevator
assemblies, namely S for standard, D for duplex
with free lift, T for triplex with free lift.
- The single-piece chassis is supported at three

points, by the driving wheel at the front, and by
four load bearing wheels on the load side.
- The elevator mast is bolted to the frame.
Braking:
Drive:
- 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.
This stacker truck is driven by 1.5kW traction motor

mounted vertically on the reduction gear. The drive
wheel is driven through two reduction gear stages.
Power is supplied by a 24 volt lead-acid storage
battery with a capacity of 200 to 480 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.
There is also an elevator mast control lever at the

left side of the chassis, in addition to the controls on
the tiller.
An emergency-stop button completely cuts off the
electrical circuit and actuates the brake when
depressed.
The L 16 AS is equipped with three braking systems:

INDICATORS
The battery discharge limiter/indicator (9) and the

hour meter (5) are combined in a single housing.
The face of the dial is made from extremely durable
makrolon.
Hour meter operation

- 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.
10
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.
Operation of the discharge limiter/

indicator
- 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.
- 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.
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
the arrow pointing towards the letter N. If any
special setting is needed for a particular use, please
ask your local representative for advice.
N.B.
Batteries with gel electrolyte require a special setting.

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.

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

MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED
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.
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.
34
141 804 30 11 - 02.00
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.
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.

a low water level.
- Replace the filler plugs.
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.
36
- 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.
