Forklift truck segregation is one of the core safety management measures widely adopted in modern industrial warehouses, logistics parks and manufacturing workshops, which aims to divide independent operation areas for forklift trucks, walking personnel, manual handling equipment and other different subjects, so as to avoid hidden safety hazards caused by cross operation. For scenarios using electric forklifts, the formulation of segregation rules should not copy general templates mechanically, and the following practical factors need to be fully considered.

First, you need to conduct a full survey of the actual site operation status before planning the segregation scheme. You need to sort out the daily fixed driving routes of electric forklifts, loading and unloading operation points, access positions of each shelf, as well as the regular walking paths of staff, fire exit locations and distribution of temporary operation areas. It is necessary to reserve enough turning and operation redundancy space for electric forklifts in the segregated special operation area, so as to avoid the problem that the operation space is compressed after isolation, which leads to frequent scraping of shelves, goods or surrounding facilities. The width of the pedestrian channel after segregation should also meet the requirements of daily staff passing and emergency evacuation, and no narrow dead space is allowed.

Second, the selection of segregation facilities should match the actual operation intensity of the site. The ground marking for the division of different areas should adopt wear-resistant special floor paint, which can keep clear and identifiable even after long-term high-frequency rolling by electric forklifts. The isolation protection facilities at the boundary of the operation area should have proper impact resistance, so as to avoid displacement or damage after accidental collision by forklifts. Warning signs shall be set up prominently at all intersections, entrances and exits of the forklift operation area, to remind both forklift operators and passing pedestrians to pay attention to safety and avoid straying into unrelated areas.

Third, the segregation scheme should be matched with the daily operation scheduling mechanism. After the physical isolation layout is completed, enterprises need to arrange corresponding training for all forklift operators and on-site staff, clarify the access rules of different areas, and formulate appropriate temporary adjustment mechanisms. For example, during the period of large batch of goods incoming and outgoing, a temporary independent operation area can be delineated by using the movable isolation facilities to avoid irrelevant personnel entering the busy handling area.
