Outdoor and yard electric forklift operations face far more complex variable conditions than indoor closed work scenarios, including uneven ground, loose gravel roads, ramp sections, rain-slipped pavement and cross-operation pedestrian flow, which brings hidden risks of rollover during daily material handling. Implementing standardized, targeted rollover prevention practices can effectively reduce safety accidents, protect operators and on-site personnel, and avoid unnecessary cargo and equipment loss.

Before starting each shift of operation, complete full pre-use inspection and route assessment first. Check the tire wear degree and tire pressure to ensure all wheels keep full contact with the ground during driving, confirm the braking system, steering response and load limit marking are in normal state. Then patrol the planned operation route, clear scattered sundries, protruding obstacles and deep pits on the pavement, mark sections with large slopes, and avoid driving on roads with slope exceeding the factory specified allowable value. For sections accumulated with water or mud, confirm the road base is solid before passing, do not drive on unknown soft pavement directly.

During formal operation, always keep standardized driving habits to avoid rollover risks caused by misoperation. Keep the forks 10 to 15 cm above the ground and tilt the mast backward properly when moving, never travel with the cargo lifted to a high position. Control the driving speed under 8km/h on open outdoor roads, and reduce the speed to less than 3km/h in narrow areas, dense personnel sections and turning points. Do not turn the steering wheel sharply at high speed, do not brake or accelerate suddenly on slippery roads. Never overload the electric forklift, keep the center of gravity of the cargo within the allowable range of the load center mark, do not carry unbalanced cargo with single fork. It is forbidden to drive transversely on the ramp, do not turn on the slope section, keep the heavy end of the forklift facing the uphill direction when climbing or going down the slope.

For subsequent safety management, make clear targeted rules for special weather and emergency treatment. When encountering rainy, snowy or windy weather, further reduce the driving speed, stop lifting operation when the wind force exceeds the specified level. Arrange regular safety training for all operators, make them master correct response measures when rollover risk appears: do not jump off the vehicle involuntarily, hold the steering wheel firmly, lean the body to the opposite side of the rollover direction to fix the personal position.

Long-term implementation of these practical rollover prevention practices can form a stable safe operation habit, and maintain the stable and orderly operation of the whole yard logistics system.
