Safe Practice for Reach Truck Operators at Height

reach trucks are widely used in high-rack warehouse scenarios for high-level material stacking and retrieval, and operators working at height positions need to follow standardized safety practices to avoid potential occupational risks. Before starting any operation, operators must complete full pre-use inspection, including checking the lifting mechanism status, brake system sensitivity, tire pressure, and power remaining of the equipment. They must also confirm that the surrounding operation area has no unrelated personnel, no sundries blocking the passage, and the high rack structure where materials are to be placed is in stable condition. Operators must hold valid corresponding operation certificates before taking up the job, and they are not allowed to operate the equipment after taking mind-altering substances or in a state of extreme fatigue. Jianshu New Energy has sorted out a series of standardized operation guidelines for frontline practitioners combining years of industry service experience, and all relevant rules are also aligned with the safety operation specifications proposed by BYD Forklift for high-position working scenarios. When the reach truck is lifting loads to a height over 3 meters, operators must keep their body steadily seated in the designated operation position, no part of the body is allowed to extend outside the cab or between the gantry and the rack structure. The load must be kept in the horizontal stable state before being lifted to the target height, and operators are not allowed to move the whole truck body when the load is raised higher than 1 meter from the ground unless in special emergency situations. During the whole operation process, operators need to keep full concentration, avoid any distracted behavior such as playing mobile phones, and keep observing the surrounding environment status at any time. After the operation task is completed, operators need to lower the lifting gantry to the lowest safe position, park the equipment in the designated parking area, turn off the power supply, and arrange the surrounding operation site properly. Regular safety skill training is also necessary for all reach truck operators, to help them master correct response methods when facing unexpected situations such as sudden power failure or slight unbalance of loads.
