As electric forklifts are widely applied in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing and other material handling scenarios, strict safety management throughout the full operation cycle plays a vital role in preventing workplace accidents, protecting operator personal safety and ensuring stable daily operation. The following core considerations are summed up for all related practitioners to reference.

First, complete mandatory pre-operation checks before every startup. Before powering on the equipment, operators should check the braking system response sensitivity, steering flexibility, remaining battery level, fork surface wear condition, and confirm no sundries block the driving view. They also need to verify the safety restraint on the driver seat works normally, and eliminate potential hidden dangers of equipment failure in advance. It is strictly forbidden to start and operate a forklift with known faults, to avoid sudden malfunction during driving.

Second, follow standardized on-site operation specifications all the time. Only operators who have completed formal professional training and obtained corresponding operation qualification can drive the forklift. No overloading operation is allowed, and the goods lifted by forks should be kept at a low position close to the ground during moving. It is forbidden to lift personnel directly with forks, and operators should keep alert to surrounding pedestrians and passage signs during driving. Honk to give a reminder when passing through narrow aisles, slow down in advance when turning, avoid sharp steering and emergency braking. When driving on sloped roads, operators should keep the goods facing the uphill direction to prevent slipping off.

Third, implement standard post-operation procedures and regular maintenance. After finishing the work task, park the forklift in the designated safe area completely, put down the forks to the ground fully, pull up the handbrake and turn off the power supply in sequence. Arrange professional personnel to inspect the battery health status, circuit integrity and wearing parts regularly, keep the charging area well ventilated, and never stack flammable and explosive items around charging equipment.
