If there is a three point support system in a forklift truck that forms a safety triangle and the center of gravity falls within the triangle can the forklift truck tip over?
The simple answer is no. As long as the centre of gravity remains within the confines of the triangle the truck is stable. However, as the centre of gravity rises (e.g. when the mast is elevated) the stablity of the truck is reduced. This is because the centre of gravity does not have to move very far when it is high in the air for it to have a much greater effect in the triangle at the ground. A similar principle applies when operating on sloping surfaces. If you were to imagine that the centre of gravity acts like a heavy arrow. As the triangle tilts on the slope, the tip of the arrow swings outwith the confines of the triangle and the truck tips over.
What do you do when a forklift tips over?
If you seatbelt is on, stay in place.
