How does tire tread width affect a forklift?
Wider gives the machine more stability and load carrying ability
Is a forklift more stable than an automobile?
Yes, provided it is not lifting something.
What is the hardest on the transmission carrying a heavy load or pulling a trailer load?
Pulling a trailer requires more energy than carrying a heavy load.
When is it okay to travel with load raised more than a few inches on forklift?
Never
What are some differences between a forklift and a car?
Forklifts are heavier, less stable and more dangerous. Cars are faster.
What is the minimum recommended tilt angle on a forklift?
Tilt is always "back" - toward the machine - so the load won't slide off the forks. It's recommended to tilt the load back as far as can be done safely. If you have a stable pallet, the best thing to do is tilt as far back as the machine will let you. More important is load height. Until you absolutely MUST lift the load, keep it about four inches off the floor.
What are the benefits of double rear wheel for a vehicle?
Better weight distribution and stability under a load.
Why it is easier to carry a load on the back than carrying it on head?
Other researchers have shown that African and European women carrying 70% of their body weight in controlled studies used more oxygen while head-carrying, in contrast to carrying a load on their backs. It also may be hard to balance on your head.
Difference between on load and off load isolator?
In electrical system load means circuit carrying current . Isolator is device which make on ( Connect ) and off ( Disconnect ) of circuit from supply. When load is ON means carrying current and required to disconnect from supply , than is called on load isolation.Here required on load isolator. When load is OFF means not carrying current and required to disconnect from supply , than is called off load isolation.Here required off load isolator. On load isolators design is more precise than off load isolator because while isolating load during ON states create heavy sparking and transient voltage spikes.
What is a simple explanation for the reason that when a forklift elevates a load it becomes more unstable?
Balance depends on center of gravity. When a forklift elevates a load, it changes it's center of gravity and therefore changes the way it's balanced. Think of how balanced a person is when holding a bowling ball at waste level. Then think of how that balance is changed as it's lifted upward towards the shoulders.
How far can a deck joist overhang the girder it rests on?
It depends on the joist thickess, spacing and load it is carrying. There is not a answer without more information.
Why is it important to set your forks apart as far as possible for the load?
The wider the forks are, the more stable the load is. Imagine balancing a dinner plate on a single ruler, very unstable. Now use two rulers 8 inches apart. The dinner plate is now more stable and less likely to fall and smash on the floor.
