The center of gravity of the truck
The center of gravity of the truck
The position of an object has no effect on the location of its center of gravity. It may have an effect on the truck's center of gravity, however, if the truck's load shifts on the incline. But that's the result of an actual shift in the center of gravity, not the result of the incline.

It is best to keep the center of gravity low on any road vehicle. This can be done by design, and by loading the heaviest items lowest with lighter items higher up. So to answer your question, they need as low a center of gravity as is physically possible.
Because its liquid and needs to allow gravity to drain to the center and bottom of the tank
No
That would be the weight of the truck and the cargo.
If the center of gravity of the forklift truck falls within the safety triangle formed by the three points of support, it is stable and will not tip over under normal conditions. This three-point support system ensures good stability and balance for the forklift.
Small cars are typically faster because of their center of gravity and because of how much less they weigh than a big truck
It's not the nature of the goods, but how the vehicle is loaded and driven, that is the problem. If it is over-loaded, raising the combined centre of gravity, the vehicle will become unstable and hard to control.
