Stability Triangle Diagram
Forklifts have a “stability triangle”.
The sides of the stability triangle as shown in the illustration are formed by the center of each front wheel and the center of the rear wheel or at the center of the axle if there are two rear wheels.
A vertical line extending from the center of gravity of the vehicle-load combination must be inside of the stability triangle to prevent the forklift from tipping forward, falling sideways or dropping its load.
Locate data plate and obey the load capacity of the forklift and its attachments.
Do not overload your truck or add extra counterweight.
Match your speed to the surface being driven on, load and workplace conditions.
