Longitudinal tip over can occur with
combination of overloading and load
elevated also with capacity load and
elevated. This combination will exceed the
stability of the truck. This condition is even
more likely with excessive forward tilt,
braking in forward travel or accelerating
rearward.
Longitudinal tip over can occur by driving
with the load down slope on a steep grade.
Lateral and longitudinal tip over can occur if
the truck is driven over objects on the floor or
ground, off the edge of improved surfaces, or
into potholes in the road surface, or by
running into overhead objects or collisions.
An off dock type of tip over can occur if the
truck is steered too close to the dock edge,
driven off the edge of the dock or ramp, or if
the highway truck or trailer rolls away from the
dock or is driven away during loading.
