The transverse attitude is the transverse slope of the chassis with respect to the horizontal. The transverse attitude is the transverse slope of the chassis with respect to the horizontal.
Raising the boom reduces the lift truck's lateral stability. The transverse attitude must be set with the boom in down position as
