As the core equipment of modern indoor logistics scenarios, electric forklifts have been widely adopted for their low noise, zero local emission and flexible operation features, and mastering standardized usage and maintenance knowledge can help operators reduce hidden safety risks and improve overall operation efficiency.

Pre-operation Basic Inspection Protocols

Before starting any shift operation, operators need to check the appearance of the whole vehicle first, confirm that the tyre wear condition, fork structure and guardrail component are free of obvious deformation or damage, then check the power system display to confirm the remaining power level meets the expected operation demand of the shift, and test the flexibility of the braking system, steering system and lifting control structure in a no-load state. Operators should also check the surrounding operation area to remove sundries that may block the moving path of the equipment, and confirm that the operation space has no obstacles beyond the rated load height of the forklift, to avoid collision risks in subsequent handling processes.

Standardized Daily Operation Norms

During the actual material handling process, operators should strictly refer to the rated load parameter of the equipment, not place overweight cargo on the fork, and keep the cargo within the center of the load gap specified by the product design, to avoid side tipping or falling of goods caused by unbalanced stress. When moving the vehicle, keep the lifting height of the fork 10 to 15 cm above the ground, avoid long time high-speed turning operation, and slow down in the narrow passage of the warehouse to ensure the safety of passing pedestrians and stacked surrounding goods. When the equipment needs to be parked, operators should lower the fork completely to the ground, cut off the main power supply, and pull the hand brake to a locked state, and do not park the equipment on the slope that exceeds the adaptive gradient parameter of the product.

Routine Maintenance and Performance Optimization Suggestions

After finishing the daily shift, operators can wipe the dust and cargo residue on the surface of the equipment in time, check the interface state of the power supply module, and place the equipment in the designated ventilation and dry storage area. For the long-term unused equipment, regular periodic power supplement and component activation inspection are needed to avoid performance attenuation of the power system caused by long-term power loss. When carrying out high-intensity continuous operation for multiple shifts, operators can arrange proper rest periods for the equipment to avoid continuous overheating of the driving motor, which can effectively extend the whole service life of the electric forklift and reduce unnecessary subsequent maintenance cost.
