Lithium-powered forklifts have been widely applied in modern warehousing, manufacturing, port and logistics scenarios for their high efficiency, low operation cost and zero emission features. Proper safety management of lithium forklifts not only extends the service life of equipment, but also effectively avoids operational risks and protects the safety of on-site personnel and property.

Pre-operation safety inspection

Before each shift of operation, operators must complete a full range of routine checks instead of starting work directly. First, check the overall body condition of the forklift, confirm the brake system, steering mechanism, warning light and horn function are in normal working state. Second, inspect the outer shell of the lithium battery, check whether there is any scratch, deformation, liquid leakage or abnormal bulge on the shell, and confirm the charging port is free of sundries and loose connection. Any abnormal situation found during inspection shall be reported to the management team immediately, and the equipment is not allowed to be put into use before the hidden danger is eliminated.

On-site operation standard requirements

All lithium forklift operators must receive professional system training and obtain corresponding operation qualification before taking up the post. During operation, strictly follow the rated load standard, never overload the forklift to avoid tipping risk. Do not carry irrelevant personnel on the forklift body, and never allow any personnel to stand or walk under the lifting fork arm. When driving in the operation area, keep a safe distance with surrounding pedestrians, goods and obstacles, avoid sharp turns on the sloped road, and do not adjust the goods lifting state when driving at high speed.

Lithium battery special safety management

The lithium battery of forklift is the core component that needs special safety protection. Use the matched dedicated charger for charging work, do not use unqualified mismatched charging equipment to avoid damage to the battery core. The charging area shall be set in a ventilated and cool place, keep away from flammable and explosive goods, and do not expose the forklift and battery under strong sunlight for a long time during charging. If you find the battery has abnormal overheating, peculiar smell or liquid leakage in daily use, please cut off the power supply immediately, move the equipment to an open safe area, and contact professional technical personnel for treatment, never disassemble the battery shell by yourself.
