The chart shows the relationship between the
location of the load center distance and the
maximum load. Check whether the load and the
load center distance are within the allowable range
of the Bearing Capacity Chart before loading. If the
load shape is complicated, the heaviest part should
be placed in the center of the fork and close to the
load-backrest.
A static object should remain static without an external force. Similarly, a moving object continues to
move at the same speed without an external force, which is referred to as inertia.
Due to inertia, when the forklift truck starts to move forward, a force acts backwards; when the
truck stops, a force acts forward. It is dangerous to suddenly apply the brake, because the forklift
truck will roll over or the load will slide when a large force acts forward.
When the forklift truck turns, a centrifugal force will be applied outwards from the turning center.
The forklift truck can be pulled out and rolled over by the force. The left and right stability regions
are small; thus, the forklift truck should slow down to avoid rolling over when turning. If the forklift
truck carries a high load and the overall center of gravity is high, the forklift truck may easily tilt
forward, to the left or to the right.
