No
When should a forklift operator raise or lower a load?
The load should always be kept low whenever the forklift is traveling.
How much can a forklift lift?
It depends on the size of the load centre. For information on the safe load capacity of a forklift click on the related link below.A forklift can lift up to 4,000 lbs if the load centre is 24 inches.It depends on the type of forklift, and the center of gravity on the object.I once operated a rough-terrain forklift that could (barely) lift 5,000 lbs.Ans 2 -Large industrial forklifts lift very heavy cargoes. For instance the Hyster H48XM will typically lift 48 tons -that's 96,000 pounds. Other large forktrucks such as Kalmar, Komatsu, SMV and others can lift at least 45 tons ( and they seem to bring out larger ones almost monthly)
What is the working load of a forklift?
Forklift capacities vary by model. The question is too broad.
How-to pick up a counterbalance forklift with a counterbalance forklift?
In order to lift a counterbalance lift truck you need to appreciate weight, load centres and centre of gravity position. The centre of gravity of an unladen counterbalance truck sits at a point directly below the operators seat. This point must align with the centre of the lifting truck or the machine may tip sideways off the forks. The forks should be positioned as wide as practicably possible to reduce the risk of sideways slipping. A forklift weighs a lot more than is initially apparent. A 2.5t truck typically weighs 4.25t so a 5t truck will be needed to lift it. Consideration also needs to be given to the load centre. A 2.5t lift truck is typically about 1200mm wide giving it a load centre of 600mm. Given a small undercut to avoid damaging the truck a load centre of 700mm would increase the weight by about 400-500kgs. Also be aware that electric trucks for example may have motors / gearboxes that extend below the bottom of the truck. Carelessly positioned forks can potentially cause costly damage. Good luck, Alba Forklift Training
Is it legal to lift a load which is not on a pallet with a forklift?
Yes

Does a forklift loose stability when it lifts a load?
Lifting the load moves Cof G forward.
What is the best way to carry a load when driving on a ramp?
With a forklift, carry the load on the uphill side.
When should the operator tilt a load back on a forklift?
Once the load is off the ground and stable and before moving the load.
