When carrying out routine maintenance, tire replacement, or component inspection for electric forklifts in warehouse scenarios, safety blocks serve as a critical passive protection device to prevent accidental vehicle slippage or falling after jacking up. Many frontline operation teams often overlook details in safety block selection, use and storage, which may lead to unnecessary safety hazards.

First, you need to confirm full adaptability between the safety block and your electric forklift before use. The rated load-bearing capacity of the selected safety block must match the maximum dead weight of the corresponding forklift model, and the supporting contact surface size should fit the forklift’s designated support position under the chassis, to avoid unstable stress or slippage caused by mismatched specifications.

Second, complete a full appearance inspection before each use. Check the main body of the safety block for obvious deformation, crack or excessive wear, and confirm that the bottom anti-slip rubber layer is intact and not peeling off, to make sure the device can provide sufficient friction resistance on the flat cement ground of the warehouse.

Third, follow standard operation procedures during placement. After jacking up the electric forklift steadily, place safety blocks symmetrically on both sides of the designated support points, never use only one single safety block for unilateral support. Push the safety block with moderate force after placement to confirm it is fully fixed without shaking, then you can start subsequent maintenance work.

For daily storage, place safety blocks at the designated accessible storage area near the forklift maintenance zone, do not stack them randomly in the warehouse operation passage to avoid causing new collision risks. Conduct regular monthly inspection for all safety blocks, and scrap and replace any parts that reach the wear limit in time.
