INTRODUCTION:
The StakCat basket lifting device was designed to enhance productivity,
maximize cubing space for transportation and create a safer work
environment for the user.
DESCRIPTION:
The StakCat Basket Stacking Equipment consists of a non-motorized
hand cart with stabilizing outrigger arms that surround a dolly/stack
securely to facilitate raising/lowering the stack so that baskets can be
added /removed as needed to increase or decrease stack heights.
The StakCat V1 and 2.0 utilizes an Electric Winch system to raise or

lower stacks of product. Operating the StakCat is accomplished by
manually pressing the “UP” / “DOWN” foot pedal control switch in order
to physically raise or lower the feature arms.
The StakCat system is designed to be operated by one person, with

minimal effort, and eliminate the need for step stools or ladders to reach
MAX Cube efficiency. StakCat creates higher than standard basket
stack heights while improving ergonomic conditions, dramatically
reducing the need to manually handle baskets above shoulder height
and increase productivity of employees.
SAFETY HAZARDS:
• Sprains/Strains from incorrect body mechanics
• Contusions/lacerations/fractures from striking framework of
equipment, catching hands/fingers between descending baskets,
free-wheeling stacks, raised stack falling
• Injury from not avoiding noted pinch-points
• Electrical hazard from electrical cord damage on 110V unit.
• Trip hazard from power cord not being properly routed to unit
• Trip hazard from out rigger legs of an empty unit
• Struck by falling objects with the items raised above the head.
• Potential for injury to individuals standing below or in the path of
baskets when being lowered to the ground level.
• Possible tipping of basket stacks if the Feature Arms of the StakCat
are not fully engaged into the basket handles prior to lifting the load.

• When working with double dollies it is highly recommended that two
people operate the lift in order to ensure the lifting arms are fully
engaged into the basket handles prior to lift the stack.
• Always ensure the dolly is fully engaged with the dolly stops before
lowering a raised stack of product onto the dolly.
• When adding the second stack of product to a double dolly use extra
caution not to make contact between the first and second stack of
baskets. If contact is made there is a potential for the feature arms to
become disengaged and the stack could fall.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPTMENT RECCOMENDATIONS:

o Safety Glasses
o Work Gloves
o Bump Cap

-The new Winch motor should come with a new cable and drum
assemble already assembled.
-Place the new Winch motor assembly on the mounting bracket just
above the 110v invert.
-Install the two mounting bolts from underneath the Winch motor
mounting plate.
-Thread the lifting cable through hole above the cable drum to the
top of the lift and over the guard and out to the front of the lift.
-Place the cable over the pulley and insert the pulley into the upper
mounting bracket.
-Insert the pulley axle pin through the mounting bracket and pulley.
-Place washer over the exposed end of the pulley axle pin and insert
cotter pin.
-Attach cable end to Anti Fall brake assembly, install washer and
cotter pin.
-Check the Anti-Spool limit switch arm for a small amount of
clearance between the arm and the cable drum.
-Attach wire connectors to the Winch motor.
-Reconnect power cables from battery.
-Before installing guard test the Winch motor assembly:
-Turn on power switch.
-Pull excess cable through the pulley toward the front of the lift.
-Press and release the “UP” Foot Control Pedal and see if the Winch
motor runs in the right direction. If the motor is running in the
wrong direction simply reverse the wires attached to the Winch
motor.
-If the Winch motor is running in the right direction. Continue to
press down on the “UP” Foot Control Pedal and wined the excess
cable onto the cable drum.
-Continue to raise the Arm Assembly to the top. Ensure the Cable
spools smoothly on the drum collar and does not make contact with
the two guide bracket mounted on either side of the drum spool.
-Press the “Up” Foot Control Pedal and raise the Arm Assembly to
ensure the upper limit switch is adjusted and working properly.
-Check the anti-spooling limit switch: press the Down Foot Control
pedal and hold the Arm Assembly to prevent it from lowering.
-The Cable will loosen around the drum and trip the anti-spool limit
switch within a few seconds. Adjust the limit switch as needed to
prevent the cable from becoming too loose around the cable drum.
-With the cable loose the anti-fall brake will engage. To disengage
the brake press the Up Foot Control Pedal until the cable tightens up
and disengages the brake mechanism.

-Continue lowering the Arm Assembly down and check the lower
limit switch.
-In the full down position, the Arm Assembly should be resting
lightly on the bottom stop and making contact with the lower limit
switch enough to shut the motor off.
-Install the Rear-Guard plate.
Replace Winch Cable Removal:

-Lower the Arm Assembly to the full down position.
-Unplug power cable.
-Disconnect the Cable from the Anti-Fall Brake by removing the
cotter Pin and sliding the washers and cable from the mounting pin.
-Remove the attachment bolt that mounts the cable end to the
Cable Drum.
-Disconnect the cable from the spool drum.
-Pull the cable by the looped end through the pulley guide bracket.
-Remove the Cable.

Step 3: Raise the Lifting arms high enough to be

able to remove the Cotter Key from the Lift Cable
Attachment point but not high enough that it will
be in the way when removing the winch motor.
Version 2 StackCat
Version 1 StakCat

Step 4: Place an object under the lifting arms to
prevent the lifting arms from going down when the
down pedal is pressed.
Caution: In the next steps use caution and keep

your hands and other materials away from the
Winch Speed Spool. Items or hands could get
caught in between the cable and the speed spool
which will cause severe injury. Recommend the
use of leather gloves to prevent the possibility of
cuts from frayed wire on the lifting cable.
Step 5: Press the down pedal to allow the lifting

arms to rest on the vise grips or the object placed
under the lifting arms and allow the cable to de-
spool. Keep a small amount of tension on the cable
by pulling on the cable as it de-spools.
Step 6: De-spool the cable completely off the

Winch Speed Spool. Stop de-spooling when the
lifting cable retaining bolt is accessible.
Step 7: Disconnect the Battery and unplug the 110v

Convert from wall outlet.

Step 8: Disconnect the Power Leads from the
Winch Motor.
Step 9: Remove the Cotter Key from the Lifting

Cable/ Emergency Brake Retaining Pin.
Step 10: Remove the Lifting Cable/ Emergency

Brake Retaining Pin and disconnect the cable end
from the brake.
Step 11: Remove the Allen Head Retaining Bolt

from the Winch Spool Drum.

Step 12: Disconnect the lifting cable from the
Winch Drum and remove the lifting cable from the
StakCat.
Step 13: Use a Phillips #2 Screw Driver or Electric

Drill with #2 bit to remove the cable de-spooler
guide from the winch assembly.
Version 2
Step 14: Use the 9/16” Wrench and Socket to

remove the 2 Mount bolts that holds the Winch
Assembly to the StakCat crossmember shelf.
Step 15: Remove the Old Winch Assembly and

clean the StakCat crossmember shelf from old
grease and dirt in preparation of installing new
winch assembly.

Installing the new Winch Assembly:
Step 1: There are minor differences when installing the new Winch assembly to a
Version 1 and Version 2 StakCat. Although they are minor in nature ensure to
follow the proper steps for the specific lift type you are working on.
Version 1 Version 2
Step 2: Version 1 - Replace the wire

terminal leads with the larger loop
connectors on each of the power supply
electrical wires that will connect to the
winch motor.
Version 1

Version 2 – Use the Black Wire that is
provided to replace the power supply wire
that runs from the top right terminal (see
arrow) of the reverse contact switch to the
winch motor top terminal (Red); replace
the terminal lead of the second wire with
the larger loop connector that connects to
the winch motor bottom terminal.
Version 2

Step 3: Version 1 and Version 2– Connect
the new Red Cooling Fan wire to the
Reverse Contact Switch terminal where the
battery/converter wires attach.
Step 4: Version 1 and Version 2- Connect

the new Black wire from the thermal switch
to the left terminal of the Master Switch.
Step 5: Version 1 only – Remove the black

rubber pad from the winch assembly
mounting shelf. The newly installed red and
black wire will run under this rubber pad
once the winch is installed. Some Version 1
lifts do not have the rubber pad, in this type
the wire will run under the shelf through a
hole in the shelf plate.
Version 2 – run the new black and
red wire through the access hole in the
winch mounting shelf.

Step 6: Disconnect the De-Spooler contact
switch from the mount bracket and discard
the bracket. Save the screws and nuts so
they can be used to remount the contact
switch to the new winch assembly.
Note: Version 1 mount brackets are

welded in place and must be cut away or
broken off using vice grips or some other
tool to slowly bend the bracket back and
forth until the weld breaks.
Step 7: Version 1 only – Remove the power

cable from the De-Spooler contact switch to
the 12v junction box and install the new 16
x 2 power cable provided.
Remove the rear plate of the switch to

expose the wire connectors.
Disconnect the wires and remove the old

wire from the switch body.
Install the new wire into the switch.
Thread the new wire through the Winch

Assembly mounting deck and replace the

remaining section of old wire with the new
one. The old harness was a 2 piece
assembly. Replace both sections with the
new one-piece wire harness from the De-
Spooler Contact Switch. Connect the wires
to the 12v junction box in the same manner
as the ones removed.
Step 8: Place the new Winch Assembly

onto the Crossmember shelf of the StakCat.
Step 9: Connect the electrical leads to the

Winch Motor Terminals.
Note: Before securing the power leads to
the terminal it is a good practice to test the
motor to ensure the wires are connected
properly. With the power leads loosely
connected to the winch motor, reconnect
the battery and quickly press the up or
down pedal to note the direction the winch
drum rotates. If the winch drums rotate in
the wrong direction, then simply swap the
power supply wires to the opposite
terminal and test again. Once complete
disconnect the battery.

Step 10: Align the Winch Assembly with the
mounting bolt holes in the StakCat
crossmember shelf.
Step 11: Insert the two 3/8” bolts with flat

washer into the holes.
Step 12: Attach Flat Washer, Lock Washer

and 3/8” nut to mount bolts from the
bottom of the crossmember shelf.
Note: When tightening the bolts ensure

the bolt head stays directionally aligned
with the frame of the winch assembly. This
will allow the cable guide to slide smoothly
over top of the bolts heads when installed.
Step 13: Use the 9/16” Open/Box end

wrench to hold the bolt head and tighten
the nuts using the ratchet and 9/16”
Socket.
Step 14: Connect the newly installed black

wire coming from the left terminal of the
Master Switch to the Thermal Switch
mounted on the Winch Assembly casing.

Step 15: Connect the newly installed Red
Wire from the Reverse Contact Switch to
the Winch Motor Cooling Fan red lead.
Step 16: Insert the 1/8” Allen Head wrench

into the small hole on top of the Speed
Collar and insert it into the Allen Head set
screw. You will not be able to see the set
screw so this will be completed by feel.
Step 17: Connect the new lifting cable to

the lifting arm assembly. Install the
retaining pin through one of the emergency
brake arms, through the eyelet of the cable
and then through the second emergency
brake arm.

Step 18: Thread the new lifting cable
through the pulley at the top of the lift and
down through the openings in the StakCat
Crossmember shelves to the Winch
Assembly.
Step 19: Insert the end of the cable into

the Winch Assembly Drum and Speed Spool
until the Red section of the cable is fully
inserted. If the cable does not fully inset
into the Speed Spool you may need to
unscrew the set screw with the 1/8” Allen
wrench until the cable fully inserts.
Fully inserted cable

Step 20: Tighten the Set Screw with the
1/8” Allen Wrench.
Step 21: Tighten the four bolts that hold

the Speed Collar in place. Use a Crisscross
pattern to tighten the bolts, this will ensure
a uniform fit of the Speed Collar. The 7/16”
x 1/4” Drive Deep Well and the 7/16” nut
driver work best to accomplish this task.
Note: Connect the battery and rotate the

drum to access all bolts by pressing the Up
Pedal. Do not fully spool the cable around
the drum or you will not be able to tighten
the bolts of the Speed Collar.
Step 22: Install the De-Spooler Cable

Guide. The slot in the cable guide faces
down and rides over the top of the mount
bolt heads. The slot is offset to one side of
the block. Make sure the Wide section of
the block is on the same side as where the
cable inserts into the Winch Drum.

Step 23: Once the Cable Guide is installed
the Cable can be wound around the Winch
Drum and Speed Collar. Using leather
gloves, old onto the lifting cable with light
pressure and align the cable with the
groove in the Speed Collar. Press the UP
Pedal and allow the cable to feed onto the
Speed Collar.
Caution: Keep your Hands and other

objects clear of the Speed Collar while
spooling up cable. Severe Injury can occur
if hands or other objects become entangled
with the cable and spool.
Step 24: Install De-Spool Limit Switch to

the mount plate on the Winch Assembly.
The Limit Switch will lay on its side and the
spring arm will lay over the top of the Drum
and Speed Spool above the flapper plate.
Use the two original screws and nuts to
install the switch.
Step 25: With the guards removed, run the

lift up and down for several minutes to
make sure everything is running correctly.
As the motor heats up the cooling fan will
turn on automatically. Once the fan turns
on, turn off the master switch and the fan
should continue to run. If the Winch
Mounted Cooling fan turns off when the
master switch is turned off the new Black
Wire for the thermal switch is mounted to
the wrong terminal of the master switch.

Simple move it to the opposite terminal and
the fan should start running with the
master switch in the off position once the
winch motor become warm. The fan should
continue to run until the winch motor
cools.
Step 26: Use wire ties to bundle any loose

hanging wires to ensure they do not
become accidentally entangled with other
components.
Step 26: Re-Install Guards
