How to prevent forklift rollover accident

Most of the collapse accidents of the forklift in the process of handling goods are rollover accidents. Once the forklift rollover occurs, it will not only cause massive damage to the goods, but also may cause personal injury to the staff. Therefore, we have made the following preventive measures for the rollover accident of the forklift.

First of all, the main causes of forklift rollover accidents are mostly related to high. The higher the goods are stacked, the higher the center of gravity will be, and the higher the center of gravity will be, the worse the balance will be, because all goods are not a single whole, and the center of gravity of each goods is uneven. Stacking at a higher place will make the deviation of the center of gravity more and more serious, thus increasing the accident rate of rollover.

Secondly, the placement of goods is unreasonable. We all know that forklifts are mostly used with pallets. First place the goods on the pallet and lift it with a fork extending into the bottom of the pallet. If the placement of goods is on one side of the pallet, it is bound to cause the goods to dump to one side in the lifting process. Therefore, in the process of placing goods, we must ensure that they are placed in the middle of the pallet.

The last is the sharp turn in the process of handling. In the process of handling goods, the arm of the forklift should circle as much as possible. If the turning angle is too small in the process, the centrifugal force of the goods cannot resist the centripetal force, resulting in the reaction of rollover accident.

Therefore, in the process of using forklift, these points must be kept in mind to prevent rollover accidents.
