Forklift safety assist systems are core configurations to reduce operation risks in daily warehouse logistics scenarios, and a standardized checklist can help operators form stable safety habits, avoid misoperation of safety assist functions, and create a safer working environment for all on-site staff.

Pre-operation safety verification

Before starting the electric forklift every shift, operators should complete the check of safety assist functions within 2 to 3 minutes. First, confirm that the blind area monitoring module can start normally, the surrounding obstacle sensing system can give normal prompt response, and the load limit interlock function is not manually shielded. Next, check the status of the pedestrian proximity warning device, confirm that the alarm sound and light reminder can work normally after power on, and confirm that the slope anti-slip assist function is in the default enabled state. Operators can also do a short no-load test drive to confirm that the speed limit assist function in low-speed zones can be triggered normally.

In-operation dynamic check

During the operation process, operators need to conduct secondary confirmation of related safety assist functions after changing the operation scene. When entering narrow aisles, remind yourself to turn on the aisle overspeed limit assist function, and do not force to turn off the system prompt because of pursuing operation efficiency. When carrying heavy loads, confirm that the load weight detection assist function is working in real time, and stop lifting goods immediately if the system sends an overload alarm. For cross-area operation, check that the peripheral early warning assist function will not be interfered by sundries pasted on the sensing probe. All temporary adjustments to safety assist settings should be recorded in the operation log for subsequent traceability.

Post-shift maintenance check

After finishing the daily operation task, operators should also add the safety assist system to the post-shift inspection scope. Wipe the dust and sundries on the surface of all sensing probes gently, record the abnormal prompt information of the safety assist system that appears in the shift, and report to the management personnel in time if there is a fault that cannot be eliminated by themselves. Do not use the forklift with damaged safety assist function for subsequent operation before the fault is completely fixed.

Implementing this checklist in daily work can effectively give full play to the role of safety assist functions, reduce the probability of safety accidents, and help logistics enterprises achieve stable and efficient operation.
