Have you ever experienced a "close call" while working with forklifts and similar equipment? Safety measures.
In the raw materials and products warehouse and logistics department, measures to prevent the dropping of transported items when using forklifts were being considered. There is a possibility of sudden braking or sharp turns to avoid accidents, which could pose a danger to workers and those nearby due to the collapse of transported items. Therefore, safety measures were necessary. Furthermore, collapses can lead to losses of raw materials and products.
Issues:
1. Since switching from wooden pallets to resin and metal pallets, the pallets have become particularly slippery, increasing the risk (especially dangerous in rainy conditions).
2. When sudden braking occurs, metal pallets can slip, causing items to fall from the forks and potentially resulting in accidents.
3. In the case of sharp turns, balance can be lost, making it more likely for items to fall or for mistakes in steering to occur.
4. Although anti-slip rubber mats with magnets are being used as a countermeasure, there were difficulties due to the issues listed below.
