Details and hidden dangers that are easily overlooked during the use of manual forklifts
Manual forklifts hide many overlooked details and hidden dangers during their operation. In the eyes of most people, manual forklifts are easy to operate and have high safety, but it is precisely these seemingly insignificant issues that often become the trigger for safety accidents.
In the use of manual forklifts, it is strictly prohibited to engage in overloading and off load behavior. Overloading can cause serious damage to the hydraulic system of forklifts. If the overload is severe, it may even directly cause the fork to suddenly fall, leading to accidents such as cargo damage and personal injury; However, uneven loading can easily disrupt the balance of the forklift, causing it to overturn and posing a huge threat to the personal safety of operators and surrounding personnel.
When a manual forklift is going uphill, the operator must never stand directly in front of the forklift. Due to the weight of the goods, inertia is generated, and the larger the weight, the stronger the inertia. Forklifts may collide forward due to speed loss during uphill driving. Once this situation occurs, it will be difficult for the operator to control the forklift in a timely manner, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
When turning a manual forklift, it is necessary to slow down in advance. If turning at high speed, under the action of centripetal force, the goods are easily overturned and dropped; In addition, if there is a situation where the line of sight of the forklift is obstructed by goods or other objects during the process of pushing, it should be stopped immediately. It is necessary to confirm that there are no personnel, obstacles or other interfering factors ahead before continuing to push, in order to avoid accidents that may cause injury to oneself or others.
