When managing industrial facilities that deploy large batches of electric forklifts for daily material handling operations, the safety configuration of dedicated power supply and charging stations is always a core priority of facility management teams. Proper fire extinguisher installation around these power stations forms a critical line of defense against unexpected fire risks that may arise from battery energy storage components, charging circuit overload, or accidental operational faults.

First of all, you need to conduct a full-site risk assessment before installing any fire extinguisher facilities. Mark out the exact boundary of each power station, confirm the daily average operation intensity of nearby electric forklifts, the total energy storage capacity of on-site power supply units, and the category of combustible materials stored within a 10-meter radius of the station. Avoid placing fire extinguishers behind stacked goods, blind corners of equipment, or positions that are blocked by moving forklift routes. Each fire extinguisher should be placed at a height that is easy for adult operators to reach within 3 seconds when an emergency occurs, and post clear recognizable identification signs above the placement position to avoid being covered by temporary sundries.

After the installation is completed, a regular inspection and training mechanism should be established. Arrange dedicated staff to check the pressure gauge, appearance integrity and validity period of all fire extinguishers near the power station at least once a month. Mark the inspection record on the attached label of each fire extinguisher, and replace the expired or damaged equipment in time. Organize all forklift operators and on-site management personnel to complete practical operation training for these fire extinguishing facilities at least once every quarter, to ensure every member of the team can respond to small abnormal fire situations in the initial stage.

In addition, you can add a set of auxiliary reminder rules in the daily management process. Forbid unrelated personnel to move or adjust the placement position of fire extinguishers without permission, and arrange special patrol routes to check the integrity of fire extinguishing facilities when the power station is running at peak load every day.
