Charge Forklit Battery Safely

Electric forklifts are good choice to move materials and objects inside the warehouse. They are much cleaner and quieter than forklift truck propelled by liquid fluids and emit carbon monoxide. These batteries contain hazards material. During recharging process an operator may exposed to acidic solution and hydrogen gas which is produced during recharging process. Care is required during charging process of electric forklift battery.

Make sure that you are using correct charger to charge electric forklift battery. Charger must be matched with the battery. Its output voltage should be same as battery has.

Check battery connectors cable are not damages. It can be sign of mismatched charger.

Charge battery after every shift. Do not store it on low charging as it reduces battery life.

Water the battery weekly upon full charge. Never water batteries before charging.

It’s better to use distilled or de-ionized water to cover the plates inside the battery cells. Unsubmerged cells will quickly lose their ability to absorb and release energy.

Make sure to charge your battery fully during finishing phase. When gas bubbles starts to appear its mean your battery is nearly full charged. The negative plate produces hydrogen and positive plate produces oxygen. This bubbling process mixes the acid inside the battery to make uniform acidity level at all areas.

Always charge battery at open area. If charging area is concentrated then hydrogen and oxygen combination can make explosion.

Never charge forklift battery if its too cold or hot.

, in Road Safety , Safety , 0 Comments

Every parent must need to teach their child about road crossing and safety. This topic is neglected by some parents which causes accidents of children on the road.

If you are a Parent of a young child than you are at the right place this time because I am going to write here few helpful points for every parent that he need to teach his child.

You are The Model:

A child in a growing age only copies his elders. At the young age of the child you are the role model of him. If you will do something in a wrong way he may copy you and learn the same thing. That is why you should never cross the road in wrong way or in hurry when you are with your child. Always follow road rules specifically in front of your child. Don`t use you mobile while crossing the road.

Hold Hand of your Child:

Children are really crazy. They can run on the crowded road anytime. You have to teach them along with taking care for him. Always hold hand of your child while passing by the road. With this practice teach him what you are doing. Like you can tell him that see I am crossing from here, you should also do like that. At this time always keep your child opposite side of the traffic and keep yourself on the traffic side.

Road Signs Teaching:

It will be a wonderful practice if you teach your child about road signs like Zebra Crossing, Pedestrian Zone, school zone and Signal Lights etc. Sometimes in the books he can learn about these signs but I think that practical effort will be more powerful to teach him.

Bus Stop Training:

Your child should be aware of also bus stop rules and regulations. You should guide him that how to ride on bus, how to wait on bus stop etc… This guide is going to help him daily on his school bus timing. If your child is under 8years make sure that you or a guardian drop or pick him from bus stop.

Car Safety:

Teach your child about Seat belt and about its advantages. This is also important that a child should sit on the back seat. Small child needs children retrains while sitting on the car seat. This will fix them in the car seat in a well manner.

Safety While Playing:

Guide your child about playing near the road. You should always send him in the park, or the area that is not around the traffic areas. This is important that you teach him not to go to the road alone if the ball or other playing item goes on the road. If your child is brilliant or more than the age of 8, you should teach him that how to get your stuff if it goes on the road.

These safety tips are precious for the life of your child. I would say to every parent that do not neglect the child in this case and teach your child every day, and save him from any accident.

Forklift batteries need proper maintenance and cleaning. If you properly maintain forklift batteries then it can double its life which ultimately reduce company’s cost. Forklift batteries contain acid which leaks and if not washed on time then can accumulate at the terminals and may cause of corrosion. If left unintended then this corrosion can pose serious safety threats to operators of forklift.

As forklift batteries contain toxic acid so if washed by hand then this process could be tedious and dangerous. That's why it’s better to use automated washer to clean forklift batteries.

Automated washer makes job easy as hand washing for many large forklift fleet is very difficult process. Large battery washers can handle many units at a time so frees workers for other tasks which ultimately reduces staffing needs for organization. Further workers are not exposed with toxic materials during spray off process.

One more advantage of using automated battery washer is, it collects used and dirty water into tank so this can be further processed. This dirty water contains many toxic acids and heavy metals. If water is allowed to be drained then it can contaminate underground water posing serious health hazards to population.

So on time maintenance and cleaning not only reduce your time but also your operating cost. Invest in automated washer to clean the batteries and make job easy and safe.
