Articulated forklifts are widely used in narrow-aisle warehousing scenarios, which can greatly improve the utilization rate of storage space and bring stable operation efficiency for logistics and manufacturing sites. To keep the vehicle in good running condition, reduce hidden safety risks and extend the service life of core components, it is necessary for operators to follow a standardized practical checklist to complete daily inspection work.

Before starting the vehicle, you need to finish the appearance inspection first. Walk around the whole vehicle to check if there is obvious deformation or rust on the body shell, confirm that the tire pressure is within the standard range, no sharp foreign matter embedded in the tire tread, no looseness or displacement on the fixing parts of forks and lifting chains, and all safety warning labels are intact and clear without damage.

Next comes the function and power system inspection. Check the remaining battery level first, confirm that all wiring terminals have no oxidation trace or liquid leakage. Press the brake pedal several times to test if the braking response is smooth without stuck. Operate the steering system back and forth to make sure the articulated rotating part moves flexibly without abnormal noise. Trigger all lights, reverse warning sound and emergency alarm device one by one to verify normal function. Test the hydraulic lifting system for several times under no-load state, check if the lifting and tilting actions are responsive and no hydraulic leakage occurs.

Before entering the formal operation scenario, confirm the site adaptation condition. Confirm the reserved safety distance of the narrow aisle matches the turning radius of the articulated forklift, make sure there are no scattered sundries or unrelated personnel staying in the operation area. Confirm that the load weight is within the rated bearing range of the vehicle, and the insertion depth of the forks into the pallet meets the safety requirements.

After finishing the daily operation, complete the post-shift check. Park the vehicle in the designated charging and parking area, pull up the handbrake, put the forks flat close to the ground, turn off all power switches, clean the dust and sundries remaining on the vehicle surface, and record all abnormal points found during the operation, to facilitate the follow-up maintenance work.
