What should pay attention to when parking the electric forklift?

All friends who have cars know that there are many rules for parking cars. How to use the lights and how to turn are all things that need attention. Similarly, there are corresponding regulations for the driving and parking of electric forklift. So, when the driver finishes his work and is ready to park the electric forklift, what should he pay attention to? These questions will be asked when obtaining the forklift certificate and are also very important in daily work. The answer to this question will be explained in detail by the electric forklift manufacturer.

First of all, we must park the electric forklift in the designated area with professional staff on duty. The electric forklift that is not parked at the designated place and unattended will be very troublesome if it has unexpected problems, which may lead to major disasters, causing personal injury or damage to other vehicles. According to the regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, when the workers are 25 feet away from the forklift, whether the electric forklift is in the field of vision or not, they will be regarded as unattended. Moreover, the electric forklift should be parked in a safe area away from the driving road. Every enterprise should plan to park forklifts at a designated location, which should not interfere with the normal work of pedestrians and other vehicles. The electric forklift manufacturer reminded that this area must not be set next to the emergency passage. In case of emergency, obstacles will cause many problems.

When parking the electric forklift, we need to lower the fork to the lowest level, and make sure that the gantry is vertical. When the driver leaves, make sure the fork is close to the ground. If there is a problem with the fork and it cannot be lowered to the ground, you should put conspicuous signs around the electric forklift. Before getting off the vehicle, adjust all operating controls to the neutral position. After shutting down the engine, operate the multi-way valve lever several times to release the residual pressure in the cylinder and pipeline. If you have to leave for a few minutes in the middle of the work, the electric forklift manufacturer also recommends turning off the power supply. In addition, park the electric forklift on a hard and level ground. If you have to park on a slope, you must use a heavy object to hold the wheel after turning off the power to prevent accidental slipping.

Parking is a science. There are many things to pay attention to. A little carelessness may cause personal injury and property loss. The electric forklift manufacturer recommends that drivers increase experience and practice skills. Enterprises should choose drivers with sufficient experience and qualifications. Because the driving mode of the electric forklift is different from that of the car, although its speed may be much slower, its volume is large, and it also needs to load a lot of goods, which is easy to pose a security threat to the staff on site.
