Electric pallet trucks are widely used in modern warehouse, retail distribution and manufacturing material handling scenarios for their low noise, zero emission and easy maneuverability. Complete and standardized training for operators is the core premise to avoid operational accidents, reduce equipment damage and improve overall handling efficiency, rather than a dispensable procedural link. Many small and medium-sized logistics teams have hidden safety risks due to incomplete training, leading to unnecessary property loss and personnel injury in actual operation.

The first core part of training requirements is systematic theoretical learning. The content should cover the basic structural composition of the equipment, the characteristics of new energy power system, rated load limit, applicable working environment specifications, as well as local occupational safety operation regulations related to industrial handling vehicles. Operators need to master the standard pre-operation inspection process, including brake function check, remaining power confirmation, fork wear detection, and surrounding obstacle investigation before each shift, to rule out hidden dangers before formal operation. They also need to learn the prohibition rules for non-standard operations, such as overloading, carrying people on the fork arms, and driving on slopes exceeding the specified gradient.

The second core part of training is standardized practical operation training. The training must be carried out in a closed, idle special training area without passing personnel and other equipment. The training content includes no-load driving in narrow passages, steering with full load, accurate picking and placing of goods at different heights, emergency response for sudden power failure and brake failure, and active avoidance of passing personnel in the operation area. Each trainee needs to complete no less than the specified duration of independent practical exercise under the supervision of a certified senior instructor, and can only enter the actual working scene after demonstrating stable operation ability.

The third indispensable requirement is assessment and regular retraining mechanism. Operators need to pass both the theoretical written test and practical operation assessment to obtain the corresponding operation qualification. Enterprises should arrange a mandatory retraining for all electric pallet truck operators at least every 12 months, to supplement the updated safety specifications, and correct the bad operation habits formed in long-term work.
