Precautions for the application of explosion-proof counterweight lithium battery forklifts in chemical plants

Safety check before operation

Vehicle Condition Verification

Before operation, a comprehensive inspection of the explosion-proof counterbalanced heavy lithium forklift is required, focusing on the integrity of the explosion-proof components, such as whether the explosion-proof shell is damaged and whether the seals are invalid, to ensure that the explosion-proof performance of the electrical system is not affected. At the same time, check the power status of the lithium battery to confirm that the power meets the needs of the operation, so as to avoid the impact of power failure in the middle of the operation. In addition, check the running status of the braking, steering, lifting and other systems to ensure that the operation of each component is sensitive and trouble-free.

Personnel qualification confirmation

Operators need to have explosion-proof forklift special project operation qualifications. After systematic Security Training, they are familiar with the flammable and explosive environment characteristics in the chemical plant room and the explosion-proof performance requirements of the forklift. Before operation, it is necessary to confirm that the operator is in good condition, without fatigue, drunkenness and other discomfort, to ensure that the operation process can accurately judge and respond to various emergencies.

Operating specifications during the operation

Driving and handling operation requirements

When driving in a chemical plant, it is necessary to strictly control the speed, avoid quick turns, sudden braking and other operations, to prevent collisions or goods falling due to vehicle loss of control. When handling goods, ensure that the goods are placed smoothly, the center of gravity meets the load requirements of the forklift, and avoid overweight and partial loads that cause the forklift to be unbalanced. When working in narrow passages or crowded areas, it is necessary to warn in advance to ensure that the surrounding personnel avoid in time.

special scenario response

When there is an alarm of flammable and explosive gas concentration exceeding the standard in the working area, it is necessary to stop the operation immediately, drive the forklift to a safe area, and report it to the relevant management department in time. If the forklift fails during the operation, it is necessary to move the vehicle to a non-explosion-proof area for maintenance under the premise of ensuring safety. Maintenance operations in flammable and explosive areas are prohibited.

Daily maintenance and maintenance points

The maintenance of the explosion-proof counterbalance heavy lithium battery forklift needs to be carried out in the designated non-explosion-proof area to avoid maintenance sparks in flammable and explosive environments. Regularly check the explosion-proof protective device of the lithium battery to clean the dust and debris on the surface of the battery to ensure normal heat dissipation. At the same time, test the explosion-proof electrical components, hydraulic systems, etc. according to the maintenance cycle, and replace the aging or damaged parts in time to ensure the continuous and effective explosion-proof performance of the forklift.

Environmental adaptation and management requirements

The working environment in the chemical plant should be well ventilated to reduce the risk of accumulation of flammable and explosive gases. Avoid parking the forklift in high temperature, high humidity or highly corrosive areas for a long time to prevent environmental factors from affecting the service life of the explosion-proof parts and lithium batteries of the forklift. In addition, the gas concentration in the working area should be regularly tested to ensure that the environment meets the working conditions of the explosion-proof forklift.
