Warehouse storage racks are an important tool for improving efficiency in modern warehouses, and the racks used in most warehouses are becoming increasingly automated. Warehouse storage racks are very important for modern logistics and warehouse storage. They not only save space but also facilitate and quickly access goods, improving warehouse efficiency.
In large warehouses, the use of forklifts, stackers, and other equipment to move goods is very frequent, which inevitably leads to collisions with the racks in the warehouse and can easily cause damage to protective fences, brackets, and pallets. It is believed that many warehouse managers have considered how to handle collisions between racks and forklifts. After all, the entry and exit of forklifts will inevitably cause damage to the protective railings, brackets, and pallets due to the operation or level issues of the forklift driver. This damage can range from scraping off plastic powder to colliding with heavy-duty racks, causing them to collapse and causing casualties. How should warehouse storage racks and forklifts be selected and configured to reduce collisions?
1. When planning the warehouse, it is required that warehouse storage rack manufacturers appropriately increase the width of channels between racks and reserve more safety distances for forklift drivers, which can reduce the probability of collisions.
2. Installing protective covers on the rack columns or guardrails can prevent forklift drivers from colliding with the rack due to operational errors, thereby reducing damage to the rack.
3. Hire forklift drivers with certain work experience. For those with forklift operation certificates, pre-job training should be added before employment. After employment, the assessment of forklift drivers should be strengthened, and regular training should be conducted to effectively reduce the incidence of accidents.
4. Designate a dedicated person in charge of warehouse storage racks, responsible for rack safety. Responsible for ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, standards, and specifications, inspecting and maintaining warehouse storage racks, and regularly maintaining racks.
In short, to reduce collisions between forklifts and warehouse storage racks, it is not only necessary to choose a comprehensive rack planning plan provided by professional warehouse racking manufacturers, but also for warehouse staff to be more attentive and meticulous, and continuously improve their professional skills.
