{"product_id":"forklift-fire-blanket","title":"Forklift \u0026 Pallet Truck Fire Blanket","description":"\u003cp\u003eElectric lift trucks are now one of the most common lithium-ion fire risks in a warehouse — and the least planned for. A forklift or pallet jack in thermal runaway sits in the middle of your racking, near your inventory, often on charge and unattended overnight. The \u003cstrong\u003eSteel Guard Forklift Fire Blanket\u003c\/strong\u003e is sized to cover the whole machine, contain the fire, block radiant heat, and buy your building the time that a fire extinguisher can't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a heavy-duty \u003cstrong\u003ereusable\u003c\/strong\u003e blanket, not a disposable drape. It's cut and sewn in our US factory from Draft-Tex™ fabric, built on Newtex Z-Block® silicone-coated fiberglass rated \u003cstrong\u003e1,800°F (982°C) continuous\u003c\/strong\u003e, and constructed to the design and test parameters of DIN SPEC 91489:2024-11 — the European standard for lithium-ion fire blankets.

That ground overlap is what starves the fire and blocks radiant heat from reaching your racking. Measure your largest truck's length and width, add roughly 40 inches to each, and round up. Most Class III equipment lands in the 16' × 16'; most Class I and IV counterbalance trucks need the 23' × 23'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your fleet spans both classes, the 23' × 23' covers everything — worth considering if you're standardizing one blanket across multiple charging stations rather than stocking two sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Two-Person Deployment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blanket this size is only useful if two people can actually deploy it under stress. Ours is built around that: \u003cstrong\u003eevery deployment loop is red\u003c\/strong\u003e for instant identification in smoke, corner loops are supplemented with side-edge loops so no grab point is more than about six feet apart, and every loop is a 2-inch reinforced strap on a backed doubler, built and tested to a \u003cstrong\u003e125 kg (275 lb) shock load\u003c\/strong\u003e. The deployment works as a controlled drag — two people take the leading corners and pull the blanket over the truck while side crews walk alongside, so nobody reaches across the leading edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReusable — Which Matters More at This Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost forklift-sized blankets on the US market are \u003cstrong\u003esingle-use imports\u003c\/strong\u003e: one deployment and a $1,400 blanket is scrap. At this price point that distinction compounds fast. Ours is engineered for a working life — deploy it in drills, train your team on it, inspect it quarterly, clean it, refold it, and put it back on the wall. Only after exposure to an actual fire is it retired, which is true of any lithium-ion blanket, because the coating in the contact zone sacrifices itself to protect the fabric beneath. If you run annual fire drills, a reusable blanket pays for itself against a disposable in the first training cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFleet Orders\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutfitting multiple charging stations or standardizing across sites is where buying from the manufacturer changes the math. Imported blankets are stocked in limited quantities in the US, with backorders running up to three months and popular sizes routinely showing sold out — which is fine for one unit and impossible for a rollout. Because we manufacture domestically, \u003cstrong\u003efleet orders of 30 or more are produced in 2–3 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e, custom sizes in the same window, and stocked sizes ship in 1–2 business days.
