Electric pallet trucks are widely used in warehouse logistics and indoor material handling scenarios, as they deliver stable power output and low noise performance for frequent short-distance cargo moving tasks. Regular daily safety checks before formal operation are the most cost-effective measure to eliminate hidden risks, instead of troubleshooting after unexpected faults or accidents occur. All operators are required to follow standard procedures to finish all inspection items step by step before starting their daily work.

The first step is to complete the full range of visual exterior check. You need to walk around the whole equipment first, to observe if there is any obvious crack, deformation or damage on the fork arms, vehicle frame and protective components. Remove any small stones, packaging fragments or other sundries stuck in the wheel gaps, to avoid abnormal deviation or tire wear during moving. Check the battery compartment to confirm no electrolyte leakage, exposed wires or loose connection points are found, and make sure no flammable obstacles are stacked around the equipment parking area.

The second step is to test all core functional systems under power-on status. Stand on the operation platform or sit in the operation position, trigger the emergency stop button first to confirm it can cut off power supply immediately as designed. Then operate the lifting control lever to finish 2 to 3 no-load lifting and lowering cycles, check if the movement stays smooth without stuck or abnormal noise. Test the steering system to confirm it can respond to operation accurately, then test the service brake and parking brake, to make sure the equipment can stay stable without sliding when parked on a slight slope. Check the power indicator to confirm remaining battery power can support the estimated workload of the whole shift, arrange supplementary charging if the power is insufficient.

The third step is to validate all auxiliary safety components. Press the horn button to confirm it can send clear audible alert, check the working lights and warning flashers to make sure all of them work normally for low visibility working conditions. Confirm the rated load marking on the equipment body is complete and clear, to avoid overloading operation in the following shifts.

After all checks are finished, record all inspection results on the daily equipment maintenance log. If any abnormal condition is found during the whole process, report to the on-site safety manager immediately, never operate the equipment with potential faults. Sticking to the pre-shift safety check routine can effectively reduce equipment failure rate, extend service life, and build a more secure working environment for all warehouse staff.
