1. Check before use
Vehicle appearance inspection
Check whether the frame of the horizontal car is deformed, cracked, etc. is damaged.The frame is the main structure of a flat car, and any damage may affect its load-bearing capacity and operating safety.
Check whether the wheels are worn, damaged or stuck in foreign objects.Severely worn wheels may lead to unstable driving, while foreign objects stuck in the wheel will affect normal rotation.
Power system inspection (for electric horizons)
For horizontal vehicles powered by cable reels, check whether the cable is damaged or aging, and whether the cable reels are normal.Broken or aging cables may cause leakage, affecting equipment and personnel safety; abnormal reeling and discharging of cable drums can cause cable strains and other problems when the vehicle is running.
A horizontal car with sliding contact wire power supply should check whether the current collector and the sliding contact wire are in good contact.Poor contact may cause electric sparks, which not only affects the stability of power supply but also poses safety risks.
Battery-powered horizontal vehicles need to check whether the battery is sufficient and whether the connection line is loose.Insufficient power will cause vehicle operation to be interrupted, and loose lines may cause circuit failure.
Carrying platform inspection
Ensure that the surface of the bearing platform is flat and free of debris.Uneven platforms will cause unstable cargo placement, and debris may damage the cargo or affect the distribution of the vehicle during transportation.
2. Cargo loading
Cargo weight limit
The rated load capacity of the horizontal vehicle is clearly defined and overloading is strictly prohibited.Overload will cause serious damage to the frame, wheels, power systems, etc. of the horizontal vehicle and increase operating risks, such as causing wheel deformation, frame breakage, and motor burning.
Cargo placement
The cargo should be placed evenly on the load-bearing platform to keep the vehicle in balance.Offset may cause a leveling vehicle to overturn during operation, especially when turning, starting or stopping.For goods with irregular shapes, the placement position should be adjusted reasonably or fixed with fixed devices to prevent the goods from sliding or pouring during transportation.
3. Operation
Manual leveling car
The operator should stand in the right position to push the vehicle to avoid being hit by the vehicle.During the push process, stable thrust should be maintained to avoid emergency push and stop, and to prevent goods from sliding down.
If you are running on a slope, be very careful. You should control the speed when going downhill. You can use pulling to assist in the control to prevent the vehicle from falling out of control.
Electric horizon
When starting, start the motor according to the operating manual.The startup process should be smooth to avoid sudden acceleration.For horizontal vehicles with speed regulation function, gradually adjust to the appropriate running speed.
During operation, operators should pay close attention to the vehicle's operating status, including whether the driving direction, speed is normal, and whether there are abnormal sounds or vibrations.An abnormal sound or vibration may be a signal that a wheel, motor or other component has malfunctioned.
When turning, operate according to the turning radius and speed limit of the vehicle.Turning too fast can cause the vehicle to overturn or the cargo to dump, especially when the load is high.
