This practical field guide is designed for frontline material handling operators, warehouse managers and equipment maintenance personnel, to offer down-to-earth reference for daily use of lithium forklifts without complicated theoretical terms.

First, the daily safe operation section. Before each startup, operators need to check the power display of the lithium battery, the surface status of the forks, and the sensitivity of the braking and steering system, to confirm no abnormal signs before formal operation. Do not carry cargo beyond the rated load of the equipment. When driving on slopes with gradient over 5 degrees, keep the vehicle at low speed, and keep the cargo side facing the upper slope to avoid slipping risk. When moving goods, keep the lifting height of the forks no more than 30cm above the ground, to reduce the risk of cargo falling or vehicle rollover. Do not drive the lithium forklift in areas where accumulated water depth exceeds the thickness of the tire, to avoid potential damage to the built-in circuit system.

Second, the daily maintenance section. Different from traditional lead-acid forklifts, lithium forklifts do not need regular water adding maintenance for the battery part. Users only need to keep the surface of the lithium battery pack clean regularly, avoid sharp hard objects scratching the battery outer shell. Use the matching dedicated charger for charging, do not use unqualified charging equipment to avoid hidden safety risks. It is recommended to start charging when the remaining battery power drops to around 20%, and disconnect the power supply in time after the battery is fully charged. Check the tightness of the circuit connection port regularly to avoid rust or poor contact, and arrange a full safety inspection for the whole equipment every 3 months.

Third, the usage efficiency optimization section. Reasonably plan the daily cargo handling route to reduce unnecessary empty driving distance. Do not keep the forks in the lifted state for a long time when the vehicle is parked, to avoid unnecessary power consumption. In low temperature environment, it is recommended to park the lithium forklift in a closed and thermal insulated space as much as possible, to keep the stable battery performance and guaranteed driving range.

All the tips mentioned above help the operation team reduce the comprehensive use cost of lithium forklifts and extend the service life of the equipment.
