Tip Over
Lateral Tip-over
• Lateral tip-over can occur with a com-
bination of travel speed and sharpness
of turn. This combination may exceed
the stability of the truck. This condition
is even more likely with an unloaded
truck.
• While traveling with the load or upright
raised, lateral tip-over can occur while
turning and/or braking when in reverse
or accelerating and turning while travel-
ing forward.
• Lateral tip-over can occur loaded or
unloaded by turning on an incline or
ramp.
Longitudinal Tip-over
• Longitudinal tip-over can occur with a
combination of overloading and load
elevated also with capacity load and
elevated. Traveling with this combina-
tion may exceed the stability of the truck.
This condition is even more likely with
excessive forward tilt, braking in forward
travel or accelerating rearward.
• Longitudinal tip-over can occur by driv-
ing with the load down slope on a steep
grade.
Tip-over
Lateral and longitudinal tip-over can occur if the truck is driven over objects
on the fl oor or ground, off the edge of improved surfaces, or into potholes
in the road surface, or by running into overhead objects or collisions.
An off dock type of tip-over can occur if the truck is steered too close to the
dock edge, driven off the edge of the dock or ramp, or if the highway truck
or trailer rolls away from the dock or is driven away during loading.
WARNING
The conditions listed above can be further aggravated by
overloading, excessive tilt, or off center loads.
DANGER
Lift truck tip-over can cause serious injury or death if the
operator is trapped between the truck and the ground.
