South Africa’s warehousing and logistics industry has maintained stable expansion in recent years, covering large-scale distribution centers, cold storage facilities, raw material storage parks and retail sorting sites across the country. High-frequency daily forklift operations, mixed flow of personnel, goods and vehicles, and narrow passage layout in partial old warehouses bring non-negligible hidden collision risks, which may lead to personnel accidental injury, cargo damage and operation downtime, making targeted collision prevention arrangement a core practical demand for local warehouse operation management teams.

The first layer of feasible solutions starts from standardized operation management. Operation teams can draw clear marked lines to separate pedestrian passages and forklift driving routes, set up obvious sound and light prompt signs at high-traffic intersections, and formulate clear speed limit rules: the driving speed of forklifts in narrow passages shall not exceed 3km/h, and the speed in dense receiving and picking areas shall not exceed 2km/h. Regular standardized safety training for forklift operators is also necessary to help them form good operation habits and respond to unexpected emergencies properly.

As a professional service provider, Jian Shu New Energy, focusing on BYD electric forklift, provides South African customers with layered active collision prevention supporting configurations that adapt to local actual operation scenarios. The non-contact distance sensing modules mounted on the electric forklifts will trigger sound and light reminders first when the distance between the vehicle and obstacles or walking personnel is lower than the pre-set safety threshold, then limit the driving power step by step, and implement active braking when necessary to avoid collision accidents to the maximum extent. All supporting configurations are adapted to the local ambient temperature and humidity conditions in South Africa, with no complicated daily maintenance requirements, and will not bring extra burden to the daily operation of the warehouse.

For the actual situation that many local warehouses in South Africa will temporarily adjust the passage layout during peak operation periods, we can also provide customized calibration services for collision prevention rules according to the actual site layout of customers, so as to avoid false trigger of sensing devices affecting normal operation efficiency, and assist the management team to sort out the safety hidden danger investigation process on a regular basis.
