V. Forklift truck structure and stability
Be aware that the structure and stability of the forklift truck are very important to safe operation.
Caution
Forklift truck structure
The basic components of the forklift truck are the lifting
device (forks and mast) and the forklift truck itself at
the rear (with tires).
The front wheels of the forklift truck can be used as fulcra to
keep balance between the center of gravity of the forklift truck
and that of the load.
The relationship between the center of gravity of the forklift
truck and that of the load is critical to the operation of the forklift truck.
Caution
Centre of gravity of load
The load profiles handled with the forklift truck vary; in
order to evaluate the forklift truck and stability, it is very
important to identify the center of gravity for loads in
different shapes from boxes to boards and rectangular
objects.
Warning
Do not jump out of the truck if the forklift truck starts to roll over. The forklift truck will roll over
much faster than you can jump out of the truck; you
should stretch your feet and keep your hands on the
steering wheel firmly to hold you in the cab. Please
fasten the safety belt tightly.
Caution
Centre of gravity and stability
The center of gravity of the forklift truck depends on the
combined center of gravity of the forklift truck.
When the forklift truck is unloaded, the center of gravity remains
unchanged; when it is loaded, the center of gravity is formed by
the combined center of gravity of the forklift truck and the load.
The center of gravity of the load is determined by whether the mast tilts forward or backward or
whether it is lifted or lowered, thus the combined center of gravity can change.
The combined center of gravity of the forklift truck is determined by the following factors:
叉车重心
组合重心
载荷重心
