As a core equipment in warehouse logistics, electric forklifts require strict compliance with operation norms during loading and stacking. The following eight key points help ensure safety and efficiency in forklift operations.

1. Prohibit Composite Operations for Stable Operation

During forklift operation, avoid simultaneous movement and lifting to prevent forklift imbalance or mechanical damage caused by action conflicts, ensuring stable equipment operation.

2. Lift Cargo Vertically to Avoid Tipping Risks

Cargo lifting should be completed in a vertical state. Utilize the forklift's own stability to prevent cargo sliding caused by inclined lifting and reduce operation accident probability.

3. Inspect Cargo Packaging for Loading Safety

Before lifting packaged goods, carefully check the firmness of the binding to ensure intact packaging without damage, avoiding scattering during handling and protecting cargo and operators.

4. Apply Hand Brake for Manual Loading/Unloading

When performing manual loading/unloading, must activate the hand brake to fix the fork position, preventing forklift sliding and creating a stable working environment for loading personnel.

5. Reinforce Cargo on Slopes to Prevent Shifting

When driving on steep slopes, pay special attention to the stability of goods on the forks. Use tie-down straps for reinforcement if necessary to prevent cargo sliding due to slope inclination.

6. Adhere to Load Limits; Never Overload

Confirm cargo weight accurately before operation. Strictly follow the forklift's rated load capacity standard to 杜绝 (eliminate) overloading, protecting core forklift components and extending equipment service life.

7. Adjust Fork Spacing for Uniform Loading

Adjust fork spacing according to cargo size to ensure the cargo's center of gravity is at the center of the forks, avoiding uneven loading that affects operational stability and safety.

8. Standardize Mast Operations to Reduce Driving Risks

When inserting into cargo stacks, tilt the mast forward for easy picking. After loading, tilt the mast backward to make the cargo cling to the fork wall, and lower the forks as much as possible to reduce shaking during driving and improve operation safety.


Following these operation guidelines can effectively enhance the safety and efficiency of battery forklift loading and stacking, building a solid safety line for enterprise warehouse logistics operations.
