Electric forklift manufacturers share: In large warehouses, forklifts, stackers and other equipment are used to move goods very frequently, which will inevitably collide with the shelves in the warehouse. In particular, some relatively junior forklift drivers have limited operations or skills, causing damage to the guard rails, corbels and pallets. Several precautions for the general generation of Noli forklifts, hoping to reduce the chance of forklifts colliding with the shelves.

1. In the early stage of warehouse planning, the shelf designer can appropriately increase the width of the shelf aisle according to the actual situation of the warehouse owner, and reserve some safety distance for the driver in advance, which can effectively reduce the collision of the forklift to the corbel.

2. Choose experienced forklift drivers and conduct regular training. On the one hand, strengthen pre-job training to improve the safety awareness of the forklift drivers before they start their jobs. On the other hand, they must strengthen the assessment of forklift drivers after they start their jobs.

3. Add protective sleeves, such as installing fork sleeves on forklifts, or adding protective sleeves on corbels and guardrails. However, although this method can reduce the damage of forklifts to the shelves, it provides opportunities for some drivers with poor skills, and it is difficult to judge the level of operation of the drivers.

4. Draw a visual deceleration line on the ground of the passage to replace the deceleration sign. In many cases, experienced drivers drive faster. There is a certain distance between the measurement gap and the actual gap caused by vision, so the simple deceleration sign may not be very effective.

In short, if you want to reduce the collision between forklifts and shelves, you must not only choose a perfect shelf planning program given by a professional shelf manufacturer, but also warehouse staff must be more attentive and careful, and continuously improve their professional skills.
