Fire Protection Notes for Lithium Forklift Charging Sites

With the wide application of lithium forklifts in logistics, manufacturing and warehousing scenarios, the fire protection management of charging sites has become a key part of daily operation safety management for relevant enterprises. First of all, the charging site should be set in a well-ventilated area away from flammable and combustible materials, avoid direct long-term sunlight exposure, and the ground should be treated with insulation and flame-retardant materials to avoid potential safety hazards caused by electric leakage or short circuit. It is not allowed to stack sundries such as cartons, plastic products and wooden pallets around the charging area at any time, so as to ensure the smooth and unobstructed emergency passage.

For the configuration of fire fighting facilities in the charging site, enterprises should choose the fire extinguishing equipment suitable for lithium battery fire scenarios, and configure corresponding smoke detection, temperature monitoring and overcurrent protection devices, which can send out early warning signals in time when abnormal temperature or smoke is detected. The total power switch of the whole charging area should be set in a position that is easy to reach and operate, so that personnel can quickly cut off the power supply in case of emergency.

In the daily operation process, the staff should check the appearance of the lithium battery of the forklift before charging, and it is forbidden to charge the battery with bulging, leakage or obvious damage. During the whole charging process, relevant personnel should not leave the post for a long time without authorization, and regularly check the operation state of the charging line to avoid safety risks caused by aging, damage or disorderly pulling of the line. All operation personnel should receive systematic fire safety training, be familiar with the correct emergency disposal process of lithium battery fire, and do not blindly pour water on the faulty lithium battery in case of abnormal situation.

At present, many professional industry participants have launched standardized safety guidance services for lithium forklift charging sites. If the relevant operating enterprises have demands for professional customized charging site safety planning, you can contact Jianshu New Energy and BYD Forklift for related support, and send specific demands to the mailbox 17399989919@163.com to obtain targeted technical guidance.

Enterprises should also establish a regular fire inspection and drill system, keep complete daily operation inspection records, and continuously optimize the fire protection management process of the charging site to ensure the long-term stable and safe operation of all charging links.
