To prevent fatigue damage to manual forklifts and cattle, targeted measures need to be taken from the perspectives of equipment operation, environmental management, personnel training, animal feeding, transportation, and daily care, as follows:

Prevention of fatigue damage in manual forklifts

Operating Specifications

Controlling vehicle speed: Reducing vehicle speed is crucial, especially when picking up and dropping loads, stacking or forking pallets. Deceleration can give operators more reaction time and reduce equipment damage caused by improper operation.

Use the correct pallet: Choose a pallet with a load-bearing capacity that matches the load to avoid overloading. At the same time, pay attention to the weight distribution of the pallets to ensure even distribution and reduce additional pressure on the pallets.

Avoid improper operation: Do not turn before the fork teeth are completely removed from the tray to prevent the fork teeth from impacting the longitudinal beam of the tray and causing damage; Do not drag or push the tray to avoid causing improper lateral stress on the tray; Prevent short fork operation, that is, lifting the fork teeth before fully inserting into the tray, which increases the risk of tray damage.

Proper use of tray spaces: Fork teeth should be easily and evenly inserted into the tray, avoiding contact with the tray before lifting. When the spacing is not appropriate, the fork teeth may collide with the longitudinal beam, causing damage.

Laying fork teeth before lifting: Before lifting the pallet, the fork teeth should be placed as separately as possible to distribute the load and reduce the stress applied on the pallet.

Uniform stacking of trays: trays should be stacked evenly to ensure even weight distribution and prevent tilting and dropping.

Organize the warehouse environment: increase the open space of the warehouse and reduce forklift collisions with objects; Keep the floor clean and free of debris to avoid sudden pressure on the pallet caused by forklift bumps and rebounds.

Equipment maintenance

Regular inspection: Conduct comprehensive inspections of forklifts regularly, including brakes, tires, steering, and other components, to ensure good equipment performance.

Lubrication and maintenance: Regularly lubricate key components such as forklift chains to ensure smooth movement and reduce the possibility of rusting and loss of integrity.

Weather protection: For forklifts operated outdoors, install weather protection devices such as fully enclosed cabins or PVC curtains to protect the equipment from adverse weather conditions.

personnel training

Professional training: Ensure that operators have received appropriate training in forklift operation and are able to respond promptly and safely in emergency situations or equipment failures.

Safety awareness: Enhance the safety awareness of operators and reduce equipment failures and accidents caused by human factors.

Prevention of fatigue injury in cattle

feeding management

Feed and Water: Provide clean and sufficient feed and water to ensure that the nutritional needs of cattle are met.

Enclosure environment: Keep the enclosure clean, dry, and well ventilated to reduce the occurrence of diseases. Regularly disinfect the enclosure to prevent the growth of bacteria.

Transportation Management

Transportation density: Reasonably control the transportation density to avoid competition between cows caused by too small or fatigue caused by cows standing for too long due to too large.

Transportation time: Try to shorten the transportation time as much as possible to reduce fatigue and stress reactions of cattle during transportation.

Anti slip measures: Lay anti slip materials on transportation vehicles to prevent cows from falling and getting injured when turning or braking.

daily care

Observing Health: Regularly observe the health status of cattle, promptly detect and deal with diseases and abnormal situations.

Adequate rest: Provide cattle with appropriate rest time to avoid fatigue caused by prolonged continuous work.
