The question sounds like a forklift question? It depends on the load. Some loads are better picked up and kept level (water in an open tank, for instance). Other loads must be picked up and tilted backwards for stability. It is up to the forklift driver to use his or her's experience, judgement and expertise. Another thing is to keep the load as close to the ground as reasonable, in order to keep the centre of gravity low. Also, in most cases, you must reverse down a steep slope (ramp) or risk tipping over and losing the load!

When picking up a load the correct way fork spacing should be?

When picking up a load, the correct fork spacing should be adjusted to match the width of the load being lifted. Ideally, the forks should be positioned so they are evenly spaced on either side of the load's center of gravity to ensure balanced lifting. This helps prevent tipping or shifting during transport, enhancing safety and stability. Always ensure the forks are fully inserted under the load for maximum support.

What is the recommended way to approach a stack to place or pick up a load?

When placing a load on a stack, approach slowly and line up the forks with the load. Lower the forks to the correct height, then drive forward until the load is against the stack. When picking up a load, ensure the forks are positioned evenly under the load, lift it slowly and steadily, then back up carefully to clear the area.
