Practical operation explanation of narrow roadway warehouse transfer forward lithium battery forklift

The author of this article is an electric forklift expert with many years of experience in practical training and equipment maintenance of electric forklifts. He serves a variety of small, medium and large warehousing and logistics teams. He will use the forward-moving lithium electric forklift in the narrow channel scenario of 1.6 meters to 2.5 meters to share compliance and practical practical dry goods.

Preparation before driving on narrow lanes

Adequate preparation for driving and operation is the basis for ensuring the safety and efficiency of operation in a narrow space. First, carry out a body appearance and functional parts inspection around the car to check whether the air pressure of the left and right solid or pneumatic tires is balanced and reasonable, whether the tension of the chain on both sides of the gantry is consistent, whether the operating components such as armrests, seats, and brake pedals are stable and not loose, whether the steering system rotates smoothly without a card, whether the response sensitivity of the front and rear wheel braking system meets the daily operation standards, and whether the safety auxiliary components such as rearview mirrors, turn signals, warning lights, and reversing buzzers can operate normally. The main and auxiliary rearview mirrors can be adjusted to a state where the left and right channel edges and the rear area above 1 meter can be clearly observed.

Then carry out a lithium battery system inspection. Before starting, observe whether there are abnormal signs such as bulging and leakage on the outside of the battery. Whether the power display window is marked with sufficient operating power. If the power is less than 30%, it is recommended to replace the spare battery and then enter the narrow channel for operation to avoid congestion or safety hazards caused by staying in the channel due to insufficient power. After starting the vehicle, quickly check the voltage, battery temperature, vehicle fault prompt, etc. on the dashboard to confirm that all indicators are in the normal range of the device description.

Finally, carry out a narrow channel environmental inspection to confirm in advance whether the channel width matches the minimum turning radius and width of the forward-moving lithium-ion forklift used, whether there is water, oil, scattered packaging materials or tools on the ground, whether the goods on the shelves on both sides and above are neatly arranged and do not exceed the edge of the shelf, whether the height limit, width limit and speed limit signs at the entrance and inside of the channel are clearly visible, and whether there are temporarily parked equipment, goods or operators in the channel. If necessary, temporary warning signs can be set at the entrance of the channel to remind unrelated personnel not to enter.

Driving and alignment in narrow passages

Before entering the narrow channel, it is necessary to switch to the driving mode suitable for the narrow space in advance, adjust the direction of the vehicle body to align the vehicle with the entrance of the channel, and drive in smoothly and slowly. During the driving process, keep the vehicle centered, and control the speed within the narrow channel speed limit range described by the device. Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden braking, or sharp steering wheel. Observe the situation behind and on both sides through the rearview mirror at any time. If you find a temporary situation in the channel, you need to stop in time.

Before reaching the working cargo space, you can lower the fork to the appropriate height in advance, adjust the forward and backward angle of the gantry, so that the fork is roughly parallel to the tray jack, slowly adjust the body position, and allow the fork to accurately align with the tray jack. After the alignment is completed, confirm the safe distance between the gantry, the body, the shelf, and the goods to ensure that there is no risk of scratching.
