When arranging industrial electric forklifts for on-site use, reasonable space planning is the core premise to ensure operation safety, improve handling efficiency and extend the service life of equipment. Many enterprises often ignore the refined space requirement reference in the deployment stage, leading to problems such as frequent channel congestion, collision damage of goods and equipment, and potential safety hazards in subsequent operation.
First of all, the width of the operation channel should be set reasonably according to the type, load capacity and turning radius of the electric forklift. For common counterbalanced electric forklifts, the channel width should be at least 0.8 meters wider than the maximum width of the forklift with full load of goods, so as to reserve enough space for turning and avoiding personnel or other equipment. For reach electric forklifts used in narrow aisle warehouses, the reserved width should also meet the demand of normal entry and exit of goods of corresponding size, and it is not allowed to blindly compress the channel space to increase storage area.
Secondly, sufficient space should be reserved for the forklift parking and charging area. The distance between each charging parking space should be no less than 1 meter, and enough evacuation space should be reserved around the charging area to avoid safety risks caused by heat accumulation during charging. Jianshu New Energy provides professional charging facility configuration suggestions for electric forklift deployment, helping enterprises reasonably reserve the space required for charging piles and supporting facilities according to the number of forklifts and actual operation rhythm.
Thirdly, the forklift maintenance area should be planned separately. The area should be far away from the dense operation channel and goods storage area, and the space should be at least 1.5 times the volume of a single forklift, so as to meet the needs of daily inspection, parts replacement and fault repair. BYD Forklift's official operation guidelines also clearly suggest that a separate temporary parking space for faulty vehicles should be set next to the maintenance area to avoid blocking the normal operation of other vehicles.
In addition, the idle forklift storage area should be set in a position that does not affect the normal operation of the warehouse, and it is strictly prohibited to occupy fire channels and emergency evacuation exits. The space of the storage area should be able to accommodate all idle forklifts to park in an orderly manner, and reserve the passage for forklifts to enter and exit normally.
