Safety hazards of electric bulldozer forklifts - overspeed
When driving on the road, look ahead, backward, left, and right. At intersections and slopes, honk the horn and the speed will decrease first. The slippery iron on the road is even smoother, so turn slowly at low speeds. Forklifts are an indispensable transportation tool in production, and currently the biggest safety hazard of electric bulldozer forklifts in daily operations is speeding.
7 hazards of electric bulldozer forklift overspeeding:
1. When a forklift is speeding, the driver cannot fully and accurately perceive the changes inside and outside the vehicle, cannot obtain sufficient road information, and cannot observe changes in the surrounding environment. Easy to encounter safety hazards, especially within the factory area.
2. When a forklift is speeding, the focus will shift forward, the field of view will be narrow, the clarity will be poor, and it will be difficult to recognize some small and slowly changing things. When it approaches, it will be caught off guard.
3. In the factory area, when forklifts exceed the speed limit, the driver's ability to judge the speed decreases, and it is easy to ignore the direction of pedestrians, which can easily lead to speeding and accidents.
4. Forklift speeding poses difficulties in shifting attention. During sharp turns, the driver is highly attentive to the rapidly changing road conditions ahead, while also taking into account the operation of braking, clutch, steering, acceleration, etc. inside the vehicle. In a short period of time, it is difficult to balance these factors, which can easily cause the forklift to tip over during turns.
5. Overloading of forklifts can shorten the driver's operating time. Once an accident occurs while speeding, it can already happen before they have a chance to react.
6. Overspeed driving is prone to rollover, and the stability of vehicle operation deteriorates when driving at high speeds, especially when driving on bends in the factory area. Due to the centrifugal force, the vehicle is prone to skidding or tilting towards the outside of the turning center. Some drivers are not accustomed to wearing seat belts, and in this case, they are often thrown out of the car or crushed by overturned forklifts.
7. The braking distance of a forklift traveling at excessive speed increases. As the vehicle speed increases, the braking performance of the vehicle decreases, the friction coefficient decreases, the braking distance is extended, and the vehicle cannot be stopped in time when it needs to be stopped,
In order to reduce or even eliminate the overspeed hazards caused by electric bulldozer forklifts, we can install alarms on the forklifts to alert drivers when they exceed the speed limit and increase their alertness.
