Hello Navode. We won't edit your file for you, however to answer your question, I suggest using an A*Star navigator. A*Star is a handy feature that enables you to prevent task executors from going to specific areas in the model. For your purposes, if you place a barrier around the coolers and outside walls, the forklifts wont be able to pass through them. Here is a link to a good explanation and tutorial. Please follow up if you have additional questions.
