What should we pay attention to when using a 5-ton electric forklift in winter?


Release time:

Feb 27,2023

The 5-ton electric forklift is now a very common logistics and warehousing equipment, which can be seen in warehouses, factories, airports, docks, supermarkets and other places. At present, most parts of the country are in a cold and dry winter, which will have a certain negative impact on any mechanical equipment. So, regardless of the price of the forklift, how to use and maintain the 5 ton electric forklift in winter?

Generally, it is recommended that customers use a 5-ton electric forklift in a suitable environment. First of all, the altitude of the electric forklift workplace must not exceed 1200 meters, the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 ℃, and must not be less than -25 ℃. When the ambient temperature is 40 ℃, the relative humidity shall not exceed 50%. Lower temperatures allow for higher relative humidity. The 5-ton electric forklift is different from the internal combustion forklift and is recommended to be used on hard and flat ground. Regardless of the price of the forklift, it is prohibited to use it in flammable and explosive places or in corrosive environments with strong acidity and alkalinity. Next, let's look at the special requirements for using a 5-ton electric forklift in winter.

When using a 5-ton electric forklift in winter, it is necessary to pay attention to battery maintenance. businesses in the north should pay more attention to this. In a low temperature environment, the battery consumption speed of the electric forklift will increase, the charging time will be extended, and the use time will be greatly shortened. In this case, we should pay attention to the fact that the battery temperature should not be too low when charging the electric forklift in a low temperature area. Regardless of the price of the forklift, if the electric forklift works in a low temperature environment for a long time, it should be placed in a warm indoor environment for a period of time before charging indoors.

Please note that if you use an electric forklift in a place where the temperature is too low, the battery electrolyte may freeze. If you charge the battery directly with frozen electrolyte, it may explode. Before charging, the electric forklift should be stored in a warm environment for a period of time to quickly thaw before recharging the electrolyte. During normal use, pay attention to the insulation of the battery. Regardless of the price of the forklift, this aspect can ensure the normal use of the electric forklift and ensure that the battery can be charged normally and quickly after work. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the work intensity and workload of electric forklifts have greatly increased. Therefore, correct maintenance becomes more important, and businesses and drivers need to pay more attention.

How to Prevent 5 Ton Electric Forklift from Overturning?

Let's take a look at the main reasons for the rollover of a 5-ton electric forklift. The electric forklift can easily tip over when lifting goods in intense sports. This is because the center of gravity itself is unstable when the cargo is lifted. If the electric forklift moves violently, it will cause the forklift to roll over. Secondly, if the road surface of the electric forklift is uneven during driving, it should be driven carefully, and it should not brake or slow down suddenly, let alone make sharp turns. It is necessary to keep driving smoothly and keep the goods stable on the electric forklift without abnormal shaking. Drive carefully in rainy and snowy weather and on slippery ground. Uphill or downhill is also a place where electric forklifts are prone to accidents. We must pay more attention. The gantry of some electric forklifts has the function of tilting forward and backward. When lifting the cargo, make sure the gantry is tilted backwards. If it is tilted forward, the center of gravity of the cargo can easily tilt, causing an accident in the entire electric forklift.

Do not drive a forklift, overload or eccentric load without confirming whether the working environment of the 5-ton electric forklift is safe. Overload and eccentric load are one of the main causes of rollover of electric forklifts. It is prohibited to use electric forklift to lift goods. Lifting the cargo means that when the pallet is not suitable, the cargo is tied to the rope and hung on the fork of the electric forklift. This loading method is very easy to cause the electric forklift to roll over.
