When traveling with an empty forklift, the forks should be in a lowered position, typically around 4 to 6 inches off the ground. This reduces the risk of tipping and improves stability while allowing better visibility for the operator. Keeping the forks low also minimizes the potential for accidents and damage to the workplace environment.

When traveling with empty lift forks, the forks should be in a lowered position, approximately 4 to 6 inches off the ground. This position helps maintain stability, improves visibility, and reduces the risk of accidents. Additionally, it allows for safer maneuvering in tight spaces. Always ensure the load is secure and the area is clear before moving.
