First of all, from the safety of the battery itself, the lithium battery forklift should use high-quality lithium batteries that have undergone rigorous safety tests. These batteries should be equipped with a battery management system (BMS) to monitor key parameters such as battery voltage, current and temperature in real time to prevent the battery from overheating, overcharging or over-discharging, thereby ensuring the stability of the battery during operation.
Secondly, operator training is also crucial. Only trained and licensed personnel can operate the lithium battery forklift. They should understand the characteristics of lithium batteries and master the operating procedures and usage standards of forklifts. Through training, operators can identify potential safety hazards and take correct countermeasures in emergencies.
Furthermore, the safety management of the forklift operating environment should not be ignored. The operation site should be well ventilated to prevent the accumulation of heat generated by the lithium battery during charging or discharging. At the same time, smoking or using open flames in the operation area should be prohibited to reduce the risk of fire.
In addition, regular maintenance and inspection of the lithium battery forklift is also an important part of ensuring safety. This includes checking whether the appearance of the battery is deformed, damaged or leaking, and checking whether the connection lines are firm and damaged. Regular maintenance can timely detect and eliminate potential safety hazards.
In terms of charging, the original charger of the forklift or the special charger approved by the manufacturer should be used for charging, and the charging place should be ensured to have good ventilation conditions. At the same time, charging should be carried out strictly in accordance with the charging time and operating procedures to avoid overcharging and causing battery overheating, fire and other dangers.
Finally, an emergency plan should be formulated to deal with possible emergencies. This includes equipping with appropriate fire-fighting equipment, regular emergency drills, etc.
