1.1.2 Conditions for application
1.1.3 Stability
Stability is guaranteed if your truck is used properly in accordance with its intended
purpose. Common reasons for a loss of truck stability include:
• Emergency stops or sharp turns
• Driving with a raised load or a load handling device
• Turning the vehicle around on or driving across a slope
• Driving up or down a slope with the load pointing downhill
• Driving with a wide load
• Carrying a swinging load
• Driving near the edge of a ramp or up steps
• Tilting the mast forward while carrying a
raised load
• Driving on uneven surfaces
• Overloading the truck
• Carrying bulky loads in strong winds
• When carrying liquid, its centre of mass inside the container may shift due to
inertial force (such as when pulling away, braking or turning)
Working condition requirements:
– Use in specied rated load.
– Used in specied area as factory, tourist attraction and recreation place.
– Used on the at ground, that is xed and owns enough carrying capacity.
– It is prohibited to pass the bulge or cavity as the small wheel diameter may cause truck tipping
over.
– Used on the road with good vision and equipment use license.
– The truck's maximum operation altitude is up to 2000m.
– Trucks can only be operated in adequately illuminated working areas to avoid injuries. In case
of insu󰀩cient light, an additional lighting equipment is needed to ensure that the driver can see
properly.
If you must travel on an incline, the gradients should be below A% at full load, or below B%
without a load.(For the value of A and B, refer to the Gradability in technical data)
