With the growing demand for low-carbon and low-noise operation in the logistics and warehousing industry, electric forklifts have become the mainstream on-site material handling equipment for most operation scenarios. Many front-line operators and equipment managers still have room to improve their cognition of scientific use specifications, this guide sorts out full-scenario practical operation suggestions for related practitioners to refer to.

Core Pre-operation Inspection Protocols

Before starting the equipment for each shift, operators should first check whether there is obvious deformation or damage on the vehicle body, confirm that the tire pressure stays within the standard range, test the brake system to make sure its response sensitivity meets the basic requirements, check the remaining power of the battery pack to confirm it can support the operation demand of the current shift, and verify that the emergency stop key can trigger normally. Skipping the pre-operation check and starting the equipment directly will increase the risk of sudden failure in the subsequent operation process.

Standard Operation Best Practices for Daily Shifts

During the working process, operators should carry out handling tasks strictly in accordance with the rated load parameter of the equipment, and avoid lifting goods beyond the specified load range. When turning, operators should slow down in advance and give proper prompt to surrounding staff. When two devices meet in a narrow channel, they need to maintain sufficient safe distance. The process of lifting and lowering the forks should be kept stable, and do not move the vehicle quickly when the forks carry heavy goods. When the equipment stops during the operation gap, lower the forks, pull up the parking brake before leaving the operation position.

Routine Maintenance to Extend Equipment Service Life

After the daily operation is completed, operators should clean up the sundries and dust accumulated on the surface of the equipment in time, keep the heat dissipation vents of the battery pack unobstructed, and complete the charging work in accordance with the official operation guidelines. It is not recommended to wait until the battery is fully discharged before supplementing power for a long time. Arrange professional maintenance personnel to carry out regular detection of the hydraulic system and circuit lines, find and eliminate small hidden dangers in time, so as to avoid small problems evolving into large failures that affect the normal operation rhythm.

Common Misoperations to Avoid for Operators

In daily use scenarios, do not allow personnel without corresponding operation qualification to control the equipment at will, do not use the forks to carry personnel to complete high-altitude operations, and do not extend feet or hands out of the range of the operation protection frame when the vehicle is moving. When the equipment is idle for a long time, park it in a dry and ventilated area, and replenish power regularly to maintain the activity of the battery pack.
