The Importance of Forklift Trucks in Logistics Industry And The Prevention of Common Accidents

Forklift, as a kind of transport vehicle that has the function of truck load transport and can realize mechanized loading and unloading, plays a decisive role in the logistics industry. Its high efficiency and practicality provide a strong support for the rapid development of the logistics industry. However, due to various reasons, there are also some problems in the application process of forklift trucks, especially safety accidents caused by improper use, which seriously affect the development of the logistics industry.

In the application of forklift, the stability and bearing capacity are the main characteristics. Its working principle is through the combination of the center of gravity, the front wheel as the support point, so that the center of gravity of the forklift and the center of the bearing gravity remain at the same level, similar to the "seesaw" principle. There are many types of forklifts, according to the structural appearance can be divided into counterweight forklift, plug-in forklift side forklift and forward forklift; According to the power unit, there are mainly internal combustion, manual and battery types; According to the different types of operation, it can also be divided into fork forklift, clamp forklift, forward forklift and platform forklift. Understanding the type and operation principle of forklift is the premise and key to safe operation.

However, in actual operation, forklifts are prone to some safety problems. The most common of these are vehicle toppling and falling. Forklift trucks are prone to safety problems in the process of operation, and safety accidents will be caused when the goods are squeezed or collided. At the same time, in the process of driving the forklift, the driver will also be affected by many factors such as the environment, the driver and the forklift itself, resulting in problems for the forklift.

The main causes of forklift lateral toppling include the driver's sudden high-speed turn on the road, resulting in vehicle rollover; When the driver meets the inclined road surface, the lateral driving on the road surface, especially when the forklift truck is carrying goods, the lateral driving will further aggravate the rollover arc of the vehicle; Turning when carrying more goods, especially when the goods are raised, will also cause lateral tipping; The cargo is not in the center point or the single fork lift causes lateral rollover; When the cargo is raised, the backward inclination Angle is too high and the lateral tipping occurs. When the vehicle encountered obstacles during driving, it caused the lateral toppling.

The main reason of forklift longitudinal tipping is that the heavy load of forklift truck causes longitudinal rollover. When the vehicle is driven by external factors, it suddenly accelerates or brakes, resulting in longitudinal rollover. Tipping up and down in an incorrect manner; During operation, the goods are raised high and the load is too heavy; When the vehicle encounters an obstacle, it does not have the proper transverse degree, and the obstacle will cause the longitudinal toppling.

In addition, vehicle fall is also a forklift accident. The main reasons include both human and physical aspects. Personnel following the forklift equipment and equipment fall, resulting in falling accidents often occur; On the other hand, problems with the forklift itself or due to personnel operation errors may also cause the vehicle to fall.

In view of the above problems, the implementation of preventive measures is very important. First of all, it is essential to strengthen the safety awareness training and education of drivers. Drivers need to strictly abide by the operating procedures to avoid speeding and other situations. At the same time, the maintenance and maintenance of forklifts also need to be strengthened to ensure that the equipment is in good condition. In addition, the loading and placement of goods also need to follow norms to avoid problems such as excessively high, overweight or unstable placement of goods. For special circumstances, such as turning, uphill and downhill, special attention should be paid to safe operation. Finally, improving the safety awareness and operational skills of employees is also an important measure to prevent accidents.

To sum up, forklifts play an important role in the logistics industry, but at the same time there are some safety risks. In order to ensure the safe operation of forklift trucks, various measures should be taken to prevent safety accidents. By strengthening the implementation of driver training, equipment maintenance, standardized cargo loading and operation procedures, the incidence of forklift accidents can be effectively reduced, and the stable development of the logistics industry can be guaranteed.
