Articulated forklifts are widely applied in modern narrow-aisle warehouse scenarios, its special articulated structural design allows operators to adjust the direction of the front fork part directly without moving the whole vehicle, which effectively reduces the required turning radius, and helps enterprises improve the utilization rate of limited warehouse storage space.

Before starting the articulated fork lift for each shift, operators need to complete a set of standardized pre-operation checks first. First, check the remaining power level of the power system, confirm there is no power shortage risk that may cause sudden shutdown during the following operation. Second, inspect the wear condition of the front fork, articulated connecting part and steering transmission component, make sure there is no abnormal jamming or excessive abrasion that affects steering accuracy. Third, test the lifting and tilting function of the fork, confirm the hydraulic system runs stably without oil leakage. Fourth, verify the warning light, horn and all safety protection devices work normally, to eliminate potential safety risks in advance.

During the actual operation process, operators need to keep the vehicle body running at a low and stable speed, especially when passing through narrow aisles with stacked goods on both sides, avoid sudden steering or sudden braking behavior. When operating the articulated steering structure, adjust the steering angle slowly according to the actual distance between the goods and the shelf, do not turn to the maximum limit angle in a hurry to avoid scratching the shelf or the placed goods. When picking and placing goods at high positions, keep the vehicle body in a stable horizontal state, do not operate the articulated steering function when the fork is lifted higher than 1.5 meters, to prevent the center of gravity of the whole vehicle from shifting and causing side tilt risk. It is also not allowed to carry overloaded goods beyond the rated load of the equipment, to maintain a stable operation state at all times.

After the daily operation is finished, operators need to park the articulated fork lift in the designated charging and storage area, lower the fork to the lowest position, turn off the whole vehicle power supply in sequence, and clean the dust and sundries attached to the articulated connecting parts and the body surface. Conduct regular inspection and lubrication for the articulated rotating structure every two weeks, to ensure the rotation is flexible and unobstructed. If any abnormal operation problem is found in the use process, stop the operation in time and contact professional technical personnel for inspection and maintenance, do not disassemble the core structure of the equipment without authorization.
