What is the exact point on which an entire load will balance on a forklift?
At the center of gravity
If the forklift load center moves outward your safe lifting capacity?
Decreases
How much can a twenty four inch load center forklift lift?
The load center of a forklift vehicle has little to do with its lifting capacity; this is determined by its structural engineering including the counterweight and pivot point. The lifting capacity of all forklift vehicles is stated on a tag on the vehicle, and is available from the manufacturer, and is also stated in the operation and safety procedures for the specific vehicle. The load center only tells you where you can place the load on the forks.
Can you load a bobtail with a forklift?
No
When should a forklift operator raise or lower a load?
The load should always be kept low whenever the forklift is traveling.
What is the working load of a forklift?
Forklift capacities vary by model. The question is too broad.
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.
Is it legal to lift a load which is not on a pallet with a forklift?
Yes
When traveling on a forklift the carried load must be at the highest feasible position during travel?
When traveling on a forklift the carried load must be at the highest feasible position travel
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 operating a forklift what happens when the combined center of gravity moves outside the stability triangle?
When a Forklift's center of gravity moves out of the stability triangle it most likely will cause the forklift to tip.
