Tipping Hazards and Conditions

DANGER
If a tip-over occurs, the operator should follow these
guidelines:
• D not jump.
• Brace your feet firmly.
• Hold on tight.
• Lean away from the tip.
The most common causes of tip-over are listed in this
section. However, the operator must use good judgment
based on proper training and experience to determine
turning sharpness and speed for the load being handled
and the operating surface (or road) conditions.
A truck can tip longitudinally (tipping over the front or rear
wheels) or laterally (tipping either to the left or right side).
Longitudinal Tipping Can Occur
When:
• the forklift is overloaded. See Figure 1-4.
• the mast is tilted forward excessively, with or without a
load.
• the load is raised and you stop suddenly while the
truck is traveling forward or backward.
• the load is raised and the truck is accelerated while it
is traveling forward or backward.
• the truck is driven forward down a steep incline with a
load.
• the forklift is driven backward up a steep incline with a
load.
Figure 1-4: Longitudinal Tip
Lateral Tipping
Lateral Tipping Can Occur When:
• the truck is turned sharply while traveling rapidly in
either direction, with or without a load. An unloaded
truck can tip easier than a loaded truck (with the load
lowered). See Figure 1-5.
• the load is raised and the truck is being turned while
traveling in either direction.
• the load is raised and the truck is being turned and
accelerating or braking while traveling forward or
backward.
• the truck is turned while traveling on a ramp or other
inclined surface.
• a load heavier than the rated truck capacity is lifted.
Tipping over in these conditions is made more likely by
overloading, excessive mast tilt, or off-center positioning
of the load.
Soft tires can also reduce stability. The truck is equipped
with tires of a size and hardness that will provide the
necessary traction and maintain a proper shape to
minimize tipping. Always replace tires with the type
originally supplied by the manufacturer.
Figure 1-5: Lateral Tip
• Lift truck tip-over can cause serious injury or
death to the operator or others in the area.
Every operator must be thoroughly familiar
with the tipping hazards listed in this section
and must always avoid any operation of the
truck which is likely to result in tipping.
• All forklifts that elevate and tilt loads are
subject to the risk of tipping over, especially
when accelerating or stopping abruptly.
• Transporting loads off-center also increases
the risk of tip-over.
