With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the development of warehouse logistics industry, electric forklift trucks are more and more widely used in warehouses due to its advantages of zero emission, low noise and low operating costs. However, the use of electric forklift also has its special requirements. This article will detail the key considerations for the use of electric forklift in the warehouse environment, to help operators work safely and efficiently.
I. Preparation before operation
1. Check the battery status Confirm that the battery power is sufficient to avoid power failure in the middle of operation.
Check the electrolyte level (for lead-acid batteries) or battery status indicator (for lithium batteries).
Make sure the charger is connected properly and there are no exposed wires.
2. vehicle appearance check Check tyre condition and air pressure Make sure the forks are not cracked or deformed Check the hydraulic system for leaks
3. work environment assessment, understand the width of the warehouse aisle, height restrictions, make sure the ground is smooth and free of grease and dirt, check whether there are obstacles in the working area.
Safety Regulations
1. Personal protective equipment
Safety shoes must be worn Reflective vests are recommended Long hair should be tied back, avoid loose clothes
2. Correct loading and unloading Use the three-point contact method (two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand) No jumping on and off the forklift truck
3. Load Handling Points Cargo weight should not exceed the rated load weight Forks should be fully inserted into the pallet and the centre of gravity of the cargo should be centred ◦ Forks should be lowered to a height of 15-20 cm during handling
Battery management and charging safety
1. Charging precautions The charging area should be well ventilated Turn off the power and remove the key before charging Avoid overcharging and deep discharge
2. Battery maintenance Clean the battery surface and connection terminals regularly Check cables and connectors for damage Lead-acid batteries need to be replenished with distilled water regularly
3. Battery Replacement Use special equipment to replace heavy-duty batteries Operators should be trained to prevent short-circuiting of batteries.
Special environment operation
1. Cold storage environment Use special cold storage type electric forklift trucks Battery insulation measures are indispensable Pay attention to the effect of condensation on the circuit
2. explosion-proof environment, must use explosion-proof certified electric forklift trucks prohibited in the hazardous area charging Regularly check the integrity of the explosion-proof device
V. Emergency Response
1. Emergency Response Stop the vehicle immediately when the goods are tilted and lower the forks slowly.
Switch off the power immediately when the electric fault Battery leakage should be handled according to MSDS.
