Safety check items before using an all-electric handling vehicle
Before driving a fully electric material handling vehicle, drivers must carry out a series of seemingly cumbersome preparations to ensure their personal safety. Currently, fully electric material handling vehicles have become commonly used equipment in the logistics industry. They are powered by batteries and driven by electric motors, with both the lifting and handling processes being electric, hence the name "fully electric material handling vehicle". As more and more enterprises begin to use fully electric mobile vehicles, the demand for talents capable of driving such vehicles is also increasing.
Firstly, drivers need to wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Then, they should check the surrounding ground to ensure it is clean and free of stains. This step is to ensure that the handling vehicle is free from leaking liquids such as electrolyte, hydraulic oil, or gear oil. Next, drivers should inspect the forks for cracks, damage, or deformation. They should also check the appearance of the wheels for cracks, excessive wear, loose parts, and any foreign objects such as ropes wrapped around the wheels that may affect the movement of the vehicle. Furthermore, drivers should not forget to open the covers to check if the pressure plate and battery are securely installed, and if the wiring is loose.
Additionally, drivers need to check whether the forklift of the fully electric carrier vehicle of Guanhang is functioning properly. They can press the elevator button and listen for any unusual noises. They can also push the handle to the tilt position and press the accelerator button to observe whether the carrier vehicle can move forward and backward normally. Then, they should rotate the handle left and right three times to check whether the carrier vehicle can turn normally. The next important step is to push the handlebar forward to the vertical position or push it down to the horizontal position to check whether the vehicle's braking system is functioning properly. Finally, the driver should press the emergency power switch to test whether the power can be cut off immediately.
Many drivers of fully electric material handling vehicles tend to lower their guard after a period of work, not only neglecting to wear personal protective equipment but also failing to conduct detailed and comprehensive inspections before operation. However, these seemingly cumbersome preparations are not mere routine or a waste of time. They enable drivers to stay informed about the condition of the electric trucks, enabling early detection and resolution of issues. More importantly, these preparations ensure the personal safety of the drivers, which is highly meaningful.
