OneCharge Batteries ensured the switch to Li-ion was smooth and caused no interruption to Standard Distributing operations. On top of minimizing downtime during shifts, we finally got rid of the lead-acid batteries' daily maintenance and messy charging area. Both are simply not needed with OneCharge Li-ion batteries.

“OneCharge batteries are remarkably reliable and can stand much more abuse, and need much less attention compared to lead-acid.”

What’s nice about lithium batteries is that there is no memory effect! You can randomly charge it at 90% or at 10% (SOC).

Before each shift, examine forklifts for safety purposes.

  • Avoid operating a vehicle that requires maintenance or repair (which should be provided by the respective qualified experts).
  • Inform the shift supervisor of any identified issues, problems, questions, or concerns.

Forklifts operate uniquely; since they steer from the rear, the back of the vehicle needs a wide sweep to turn.

Never leave an operating forklift unattended. In fact, leaving keys in an unattended forklift (or, thus, leaving on the ignition of this vehicle) is illegal, and has dire consequences as a safety hazard, even without the actual occurrence of an accident.

Know and never exceed the lifting capacity of the forklift.

Work-site rules and regulations must be adhered to.

Keep hands and feet away from the cross members of the mast— should the mast be lowered and catch your hand, you’ll suffer from serious injury.

Forklifts need to be refuelled— after, of course, they’ve been turned off—at designated and well-ventilated locations.

Forklifts which are not in use should be carefully parked, with the parking brake applied.

As the operator of a forklift, you must receive thorough forklift safety training and certification before being entrusted with the heavy machinery.

Forklift Handling Procedure

Be alert and attentive to your surrounding environment at all times with these forklift safety tips:

  • Avoid hazards on the floor; slippery or unstable surfaces, bumps, holes, etc.
    1. Driving over small, scattered hazards (like shards of wood) may make the load shift and
      topple, or knock you out of place (and out of control)
  • Direct your forklift forward when driving up ramps, but go downhill in reverse.
    1. Don’t load/unload on the ramp.
  • Alert others of your coming with a horn or your voice.
  • Keep a safe distance from people and from other trucks
  • Stop only when you have enough space to pause safely.
  • Note any changes to your operating environment.

Ensure that you are in complete control of the vehicle.

Stay in the operator’s seat, and keep your body within the frame of the vehicle at all times.

Wear your seat belt for protection case the vehicle topples; if that’s the case, the frame will offer sufficient protection (along with the seatbelt!).

Never allow unauthorized people to drive or otherwise operate the forklift.

Stick to the appropriate dress code:

  • Mandatory safety gear (hi-visibility jacket, sturdy footgear, hard-hats)
  • Tight clothing that can’t be caught in gears or controls

Never operate with wet or greasy hands or shoes. You could easily slide or slip and cause an accident.
