Accidents that may cause overturning occur while forklifts are moving in a logistics center. Accidents can be prevented depending on the forklift driving habits of the forklift driver. The reach-type forklift forks that have completed the unloading operation must be moved inside the forklift. However, depending on the weight of the cargo, it takes time to move the forklift forks, which reduces productivity. When a reach-type forklift is moved with cargo loaded, the center of gravity of the cargo may change, causing the forklift to overturn. The distance range between cargo and forklift fork masts to prevent reach-type forklift overturning accidents was studied. The possibility of a forklift accident was tested by varying the distance between the forklift fork mast and the cargo from 1cm to 10cm. As a result of the research, it is necessary to proceed with work by distinguishing the distance between the fork mast and cargo centered on 5cm.

The forklift carry cargo and move to various places. When a forklift moves to various places, a forklift accident occurs due to a number of factors,such as speed, safe distance. Forklift accidents occur at the logistic site and there are many studies on the causes of accident such as jamming, falling, collisions, etc. However, safety operation for accident prevention is necessary before operating a forklift. Pre-accident safety precautions may prevent accidents. In this study, precautionary factors for safe operation were analyzed to prevent forklift safety accidents through the AHP technique. As a result of the study showed that safety management was the priority in the terminal group and the logistics warehouse group.
