Before starting any formal practice, all operators need to complete the pre-operation inspection drill for at least 30 minutes in the first phase of the plan. During this stage, trainees are required to walk around the whole equipment to check the condition of running wheels, fork surface, battery power status and emergency stop function, confirm the load weight of target goods is within the rated load range of the equipment, and check that the working channel is free of obstacles and unrelated personnel. This pre-check step should be treated as a mandatory part of each operation, not a perfunctory process to skip.
The second phase focuses on standardized load pickup practice. Trainees should drive the electric pallet truck slowly to the position 30cm away from the target pallet first, adjust the fork width to fully match the insertion holes of the pallet, push the forks forward steadily until they reach the full depth of the pallet bottom, make sure the fork tip will not pierce the outer package of internal goods. Then lift the forks slowly to the safe driving height of 10cm to 15cm above the ground, shake the body slightly to confirm the center of gravity of the loaded goods is stable, then release the parking gear to start low-speed moving.
The third phase covers standard load put-down practice. After the operator drives to the designated unloading area, they need to confirm the ground of the unloading position is flat, without sharp sundries or obvious depressions, adjust the body angle to align completely with the cargo position, no skew alignment is allowed in formal operation. Then lower the forks steadily until the pallet is fully supported by the ground, continue to lower the forks for 2cm to 3cm to make sure the forks are completely separated from the bottom of the pallet. Then back the equipment slowly until the forks are completely out of the pallet jack area, confirm no scratch on surrounding goods before driving away from the working spot.
The extended practice plan arranges 2 hours of simulated operation every week, letting trainees get familiar with different specifications of pallets and different load weights, correct bad operating habits such as sudden acceleration, sudden braking and too high fork lifting in driving. Regular daily assessment will help operators form stable operation awareness, reduce unnecessary cargo damage and potential safety hazards, and continuously improve the overall efficiency of warehouse material handling.
