Electric forklifts are widely applied in modern logistics, manufacturing and warehousing scenarios for their low noise, zero local emission and easy daily maintenance features. Standardized safety management is the core premise to avoid operation accidents, property loss and personnel injury, and a systematic practical checklist can help frontline operators and site managers form standardized operation habits conveniently.

The first part of the checklist covers pre-operation inspection, which must be completed before the equipment is put into use every day. Operators need to walk around the whole vehicle first to check if there is visible damage to the body, guard frame and overhead guard, confirm the tire wear degree and air pressure meet basic operation requirements, check the deformation and abrasion condition of forks, lifting chains and limit devices. They also need to test the sensitivity of brake, steering, horn and all light signals, check the battery shell, connecting cables and cooling system to rule out hidden troubles like leakage, loose connection and overheating. Make sure the driving seat is adjusted to a proper position and the safety belt can be buckled and fixed smoothly.

The second part focuses on in-operation safety specifications. Operators must strictly follow the rated load mark on the nameplate, never carry overloaded goods or stack goods in unstable status. When driving in the operation site, keep a safe distance with surrounding pedestrians, shelves and other equipment, slow down and honk in advance when turning or passing the crossing. Keep low speed while driving on slopes, never steer sharply or pull over on the ramp. No extra personnel is allowed to take the forklift except the assigned operator, and no one is allowed to stand or walk under the lifted forks at any time.

The last part refers to post-operation standard procedures. After completing the daily operation, park the forklift in the designated parking area, lower the forks completely to 10 to 15 cm above the ground, pull the handbrake firmly, turn off the power switch and pull out the key. Clear the sundries on the vehicle body and operation panel, make a clear record of the operation status on that day. If any abnormal condition is found during the whole usage process, report it to the management department in time, and never use the equipment with hidden faults.
