Pre-operation Facility Site Evaluation

For facilities with long-running warehouse operations, existing floors often form uneven areas including fine cracks, sunken pits, raised joint seams and partial loose wear after years of heavy load pressure and frequent vehicle passing. Before arranging electric material handling trucks to enter the operation zone, facility managers need to conduct a full coverage inspection on the working floor first. All uneven sections with pits deeper than 5mm, raised seams higher than 3mm or obvious loose surface shall be marked with obvious warning signs, and temporary passage routes shall be planned for operators to bypass these high-risk zones. If partial floor damage is relatively serious, arrange relevant personnel to carry out simple leveling repair in advance before resuming handling work, to eliminate potential risks in the working environment from the source.

2. Standardized Operation Requirements for Electric Material Handling Trucks

All assigned operators shall receive targeted training for operation on uneven floor surfaces before taking posts. The maximum driving speed of electric material handling trucks in uneven warehouse zones shall be controlled under 3km per hour, and operators shall slow down in advance 1 to 2 meters before passing the marked uneven sections, avoid sudden steering or sudden braking action on these bumpy areas. It is not allowed to lift the forks to the maximum height when the truck is running on uneven surfaces, and the load on the forks shall be placed evenly to avoid eccentric load that may cause rollover risks. Operators shall adjust their driving route timely when they find new unmarked damaged floor sections, and report the situation to management team immediately instead of forcing a pass.

3. Targeted Routine Maintenance Arrangement

Set up a special daily inspection checklist for electric material handling trucks that often work on uneven aged floors. After each shift, operators need to check the wear condition of truck wheels, fastening state of suspension components and deformation condition of forks first. Maintenance personnel shall conduct regular inspection on the connection status of power system wiring, to prevent loose wiring or power failure caused by long-term bumpy driving. Regularly calibrate the braking and balance sensing components of the truck, to keep its stability performance at normal working state. These targeted measures can effectively extend the service life of the equipment, and create a safer operating environment for all on-site warehouse staff.
