My text is on fork lifts: "Special care will be required when unloading trailers, stacking pallets, and when lifting stacking or nesting round objects."
I assume that comma is missing between "lifting" and "stacking", and if this is the case then the only problem would be "nesting".

lifting and stacking round objects, or fitting them into each other
I'm sure you're right about the comma.
I think by "nesting" they mean the fitting together of objects which are designed to fit into each other for ease of stacking, e.g. concal-sided bins,
or per haps sets of cylindrical objects of different sizes.

I don't see a problem
The forklift operator should be careful lifting items that are stacked or nested. I don't think the operator stacks or nests the items. The author has simply used the gerund as an adjective.

: Why donyou assume the operator would not be stacking? The operation of unloading could conceivably require that

Because the way I read it, stacking and nesting refer to the items, i.e., items that can be stacked or nested, and the operator should be careful to ensure they don't come "unstacked"
