The forks should be positioned evenly under the stillage to ensure equal weight distribution. They should be inserted fully to prevent any instability while lifting. Make sure the forks are aligned properly and that the stillage is centered between them before lifting.
as wide as possible to prevent the load slipping sideways
When picking up a pallet, the forks of the forklift should be placed beneath the pallet's load, ideally positioned toward the center to ensure balance and stability. It's important to fully insert the forks to prevent damaging the pallet and to lift the load securely. The forks should also be adjusted to the proper width to match the pallet size. This ensures safe lifting and helps maintain control during transport.
The forks must support at least 50% of the length of the load to ensure stability and prevent tipping during lifting and transport. This requirement helps distribute the weight evenly and maintains balance, especially when maneuvering the load. Proper support is crucial for safe operation and to avoid accidents.

Forks is a real city, but you must realize that it is a real small town near the coast of Washington. There is not a college there but you may go to a college in a nearby city--like Seattle.
Lift with your legs not your back.
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.

In the widest position possible, centered, under the pallet, all the way in.
When handling a metal stillage, the fork arms should be positioned as wide as possible to ensure stability and support for the load. The forks should be fully inserted into the stillage, with the tips extending beyond the front edge to prevent tipping. Additionally, the stillage should be lifted evenly to maintain balance and avoid any potential hazards during transport. Proper positioning is crucial to ensure safety and prevent damage to both the load and the handling equipment.
The setting is Forks, Washington. It affcets the plot because vampires must stay out of the sun or it will reveal who they are. So that's why Stephenie probably chose Forks, one of the the rainiest places in the continental US.
I used to live in the great state of California, and I noticed that people often ate with forks. In fact, I very seldom saw anyone eating with their fingers instead of forks or other flatware. And since there are in excess of 30 million people in California, I would estimate that there must be well over a hundred million forks in that state. If we include plastic forks as well as metal ones, there are several hundred million, even a billion would be possible. Not that anyone is going to actually count them.
