When using a 5-ton electric forklift in winter, it is important to pay attention to battery maintenance. Enterprises in the north should pay more attention to this.

5-ton electric forklifts are 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 experiencing 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 a 5-ton electric forklift in winter?
Usually, it is recommended that customers use a 5-ton electric forklift in a suitable environment. Firstly, the altitude of the electric forklift workplace shall not exceed 1200 meters, the ambient temperature shall not exceed 40 ℃, and shall not be lower than -25 ℃. When the ambient temperature is 40 ℃, the relative humidity should not exceed 50%. Allow for higher relative humidity at lower temperatures. 5-ton electric forklifts are different from internal combustion forklifts and are recommended for use on hard and flat surfaces. Regardless of the price of the forklift, it is prohibited to use it in flammable and explosive places or corrosive environments with strong acidity or alkalinity. Next, let's take a 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 important to pay attention to battery maintenance. Enterprises in the north should pay more attention to this. In low-temperature environments, the battery consumption rate of electric forklifts will increase, the charging time will be extended, and the usage time will be greatly shortened. In this case, we should be aware that when charging electric forklifts in low-temperature areas, the battery temperature should not be too low. 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 areas with low temperatures, the battery electrolyte may freeze. If you directly charge the battery with frozen electrolyte, it may explode. Before charging, electric forklifts 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 ensures the normal use of the electric forklift and ensures that the battery can be charged quickly and normally after operation. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the workload and workload of electric forklifts have greatly increased. Therefore, proper maintenance has become even more important, and businesses and drivers need to pay more attention to it.

How to prevent a 5-ton electric forklift from tipping over?

Let's take a look at the main reason why a 5-ton electric forklift overturns. Electric forklifts are prone to tipping over when lifting goods in intense motion. This is because when the goods are lifted, the center of gravity itself is unstable. If the electric forklift moves violently, it may cause the forklift to overturn. Secondly, if the road surface of an electric forklift is uneven during operation, it should be driven with caution and not suddenly brake or slow down, let alone make sharp turns. It is necessary to maintain smooth driving and keep the goods stable on the electric forklift without any abnormal shaking. Drive carefully in rainy, snowy weather and slippery ground. Upslope 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 goods, ensure that the gantry tilts backwards. If tilted forward, the center of gravity of the goods is easily tilted, causing accidents to the entire electric forklift.

Without confirming the safety of the working environment of the 5-ton electric forklift, it is not allowed to drive the forklift, overload or eccentric load. Overload and eccentric load are one of the main causes of electric forklift rollover. It is prohibited to use electric forklifts to lift goods. Lifting goods refers to tying the goods to ropes and hanging them on the forks of an electric forklift when the pallet is not suitable. This loading method can easily cause the electric forklift to overturn.
