Against the background of continuously improving operation efficiency requirements in modern logistics warehouses, manufacturing workshops and cargo transfer stations, the density of on-site personnel, stacked goods and mobile handling equipment keeps rising, making fine-grained traffic safety management a core part of daily operation maintenance. The forklift speed limit sign, as a basic visual warning facility, plays an irreplaceable role in regulating the driving behavior of handling equipment, and has been widely recognized by most operation management teams in recent years.

Many operation teams tend to ignore the pertinence of speed limit sign deployment in actual layout, and paste unified speed limit value for all areas, which cannot meet the actual safety protection demands. For different functional zones, the parameter of speed limit sign can be adjusted reasonably according to the on-site condition: for the sorting area and pedestrian crossing with high pedestrian flow, the speed limit value should be set at a lower level to reserve enough reaction time for both drivers and passing staff; for the main operation channel with wide view and no frequent pedestrian crossing, the speed limit value can be set appropriately higher under the premise of meeting safety specifications. For corners, entrances and exits of elevator, the forklift speed limit sign made of high visibility reflective material is recommended, which can be clearly identified by electric forklift drivers even in low light or backlight conditions.

Standardized deployment of forklift speed limit sign can not only reduce the occurrence of collision, scratch and other safety accidents, but also help electric forklift drivers form a stable driving habit, reduce the frequent sudden acceleration and sudden braking behavior, so as to lower the extra wear of vehicle parts and the risk of cargo falling, extending the overall service life of electric handling equipment. Operation management teams need to arrange special personnel to check the intact condition of all speed limit signs on a regular basis, replace the faded or damaged signs in time, and ensure no sundries, shelves or stacked goods block the viewing direction of the signs.
