Caution the stability zone of the barycenter
In order to make the truck stable, the combined center
must be in the triangle which is made up of two points that the
two front wheels attach ground and the midpoint of the back
driving axle.
If the combined center is in the front driving axle, the two
front wheels become two fulcrums, the truck will overturn. If
the combined center departures the triangle, the trucks shall
overturn in the corresponding direction.
Caution the max load
The distance between the load center and the front surface of
forklift or load bracket (select the min) on the forklift is called
LOAD CENTER DISTANCE. The max gravity that the truck can
load is called MAX LOAD on condition that the load is on the load
center distance. The relationship of MAX LOAD and LOAD CENTER
DISTANCE is specified on the load capability chart. If the load center
is moved near the front of forklift, the load should be cut down.
Caution the load capability chart
This chart shows the relationship of MAX LOAD
And the location of LOAD CENTER DISTANCE. Check
whether the load and load center distance is in the range
referred by the chart. Put the most important parts near the
load bracket if the shape of goods is complex.
Caution speed and acceleration
A static object keep its static station which is not affected by outside force, one dynamic object
moves with the same speed which is not affected by outside force, this is inertia.
Because of inertia, one force affected backward when the truck is moving , one force affected
forward when the truck is stopping.
It is very dangerous to press the brake suddenly. It may result in capsizal or sliding down of the
load because of huge force to the front.
Centrifugal force will be formed during turning and its direction is from the turning center to
the outer. The force may result in the capsizal of truck. Right-and-left stable zone is very small, so
the truck’s speed must be reduced when turning to prevent capsizal. If the truck conveys the load
which is on the high location, feasibility of capsizal is very big.
