Important notes when using a new forklift

Important Notes When Using Forklifts
One, check the overall forklift when operating

– Before the forklift is operated, check its appearance and add fuel, lubricating oil and coolant.

– Check the total of starter, main engine and brake.

– Check that all lights, signal lights, horn system are full and working properly or not.

– Check if the pressure of the hydraulic components and the temperature are normal of the forklift.

– After the forklift is running, check the external leakage of all hydraulic connections for normal or not.

– In addition to checking the above contents, if it is an electric forklift, it should also be checked according to the relevant inspection contents of the electric forklift.

Two, start the operation

– Before running, look around and confirm that there are no obstacles preventing the safety of driving, then honk first before starting.

– For vehicles with air brakes, the brake gas pressure gauge must reach the specified value to start the engine.

– When the forklift starts to load, the driver needs to first confirm that the load is stable and reliable.

– Start running slowly, then speed up.

Three, the notes when driving a forklift

– When driving goods, the height between the bottom of the fork and the ground should be 300-400mm and the fork post should be tilted backwards.

– Do not lift the fork too high when driving. When driving in and out of the construction site, keep an eye out for obstacles in the sky. When the load is lifted, be aware that too high a load will increase the overall height of the forklift truck and affect the stability of the forklift.

– After unloading, should pay attention to lower the fork to the normal driving position before turning the steering wheel.

– When turning, if there are pedestrians or vehicles nearby, they must signal their horns and prohibit turning at high speed. Pay attention to sharp turns at high speed that will cause the vehicle to lose its lateral stability and overturn.

– For forklifts with internal combustion engines going downhill, never turn off the engine and slide.

– For non-special cases, do not brake suddenly while driving a loaded vehicle.

– When the load has an incline exceeding 7 degrees and the speed is higher than the first gear up and down, the brake system will not be used except in special cases.

– When the forklift is in operation, it must comply with the traffic regulations in the factory, must keep a certain safe distance from the vehicle in front.

– When the forklift is in motion, the load must be loaded at the lowest position that does not obstruct the driver’s view. The lifting post must be properly tilted back, except in the case of loading or unloading, and must not exceed the specified load. When transporting large objects, if the goods block the driver’s view, this time should be moved by reversing the forklift.

The forklift is driven by the rear wheel to steer, so you must always pay attention to the swaying behind the truck to avoid the sudden turn that often occurs when you first start driving.

– When the forklift is going downhill, the steering wheel must be reversed to prevent the goods from falling.

Four, the process of loading and unloading the forklift truck

– When the forklift uses a fork lift. Note that the distance between the two forks must be adjusted as necessary to balance the load of the two forks to avoid deflection. One side of the item should be close to the shelf and the fork weight should meet the load center curve requirements.

– The height of the load should not obscure the driver’s view.

– In the process of loading and unloading goods, the forklift must be braked.

– When the forklift approaches or moves goods, the speed must be slow and steady, be careful not to press the objects, wooden mats, … on the wheels to avoid rolling objects flying and injuring people.

– When picking up goods with a fork, the fork should be as deep as possible under the load, and the tip of the fork should not touch the cargo or other object. Minimal column inclination should be used to stabilize the load to prevent the load from sliding backwards. When lowering the load, the fork mast can be tilted forward a small amount to facilitate loading and retracting.

– It is forbidden to pick up goods at high speed and collide with hard objects with a fork.

– Personnel are prohibited from standing on the forks while operating the forklift.

– For forklift operations, personnel must not stand around the forks to avoid spilling goods and causing personal injury.

– Do not use forklifts to lift people participating in overhead activities, to avoid accidents from falling from a height.

– It is not allowed to use the brake to release the cargo by inertia force.

The above is the sharing of basic information for forklift users, hopefully useful for readers.

  • diesel-forklift Analysis of investment efficiency between electric forklifts and diesel forkls

    Analysis of investment efficiency between electric forklifts and diesel forkls In today’s modern industrial and logistics world, choosing the right lifting equipment plays a crucial role in optimizing performance and operating costs. The two most popular types of forkls on the market today are electric forklifts and diesel forklifts. Each type has its own advantages and limitations, requiring businesses to carefully consider before making investment decisions. This article will analyze in detail the investment efficiency between electric forklifts and diesel forklifts, helping you have a comprehensive view to make informed choices. Overview of electric forklifts and diesel forklifts Electric forklifts use energy from batteries to operate, while diesel forklifts run on internal combustion engines using diesel fuel. Electric forklifts are often preferred in indoor working environments due to their lack of harmful emissions. On the other hand, diesel forklifts are suitable for outdoor tasks, especially in challenging terrain conditions. Key strengths of electric forklifts include: – Smooth operation, low noise levels – No direct emissions, environmentally friendly – Lower operating costs in the long run – Simpler maintenance Key weaknesses of electric forklifts include: – Higher initial investment costs – Long battery charging times – Limited continuous operation due to battery capacity Key advantages of diesel-powered forklifts include: – High power output, suitable for heavy loads – Diesel forklifts can work continuously over long periods – Good adaptation to outdoor conditions and challenging terrains Disadvantages of diesel-powered forklifts include: – Emission of harmful gases – High noise levels – Higher fuel consumption and maintenance costs – Initial investment costs When comparing initial investment costs, diesel-powered forklifts usually have lower prices than electric ones with the same capacity. However, this price difference is gradually narrowing as battery technology and electric motors are being improved. Factors affecting the price of a forklift: – Lifting capacity and load weight – Brand and origin – Features and accompanying technologies For example, a 3-ton diesel-powered forklift may cost between 300-400 million VND, while an electric one with the same load capacity may range from 400-550 million VND. However, it is important to note that the initial price is only part of the total ownership and operating costs of a forklift. Operating costs Operating costs are an important factor in determining long-term investment efficiency. This is an area where electric forklifts often have an advantage. Fuel consumption costs: Electric forklifts have significantly lower energy costs. With an average electricity price of around 2,000 VND/kWh, energy costs can be only 1/3 to 1/4 compared to diesel-powered ones using fuel priced at around 20,000 VND/liter. Maintenance and repair costs: Electric forklifts have simpler construction with fewer moving parts, so maintenance costs are usually lower. However, when replacing batteries (usually after 5-7 years), the cost can be quite high, accounting for about 30-40% of the vehicle’s value.
