Design Stability Testing and Requirements for Forklifts
http://www.lifttruckcapacitycalculator.com/blog/?p=68 | Stability when driving a forklift is essential so that your operators do not tip when moving a load from one place to another. There are certain design stability requirements set by the industry and manufacturers that are in place for each specific type of powered industrial truck. The term “design stability” refers to the measurement of a truck’s resistance to overturning under controlled circumstances. Read more in this infographic.

image-dna: How To Update Your Forklift Capacity Data Plate How To Update Your Forklift Capacity Data Plate http://www.lifttruckcapacitycalculator.com/blog/?p=41 | Forklift safety is not to be taken lightly. This equipment is involved in around 90,000 accidents every year and sometimes people sustain sever, and occasionally even fatal injuries from these incidents. Even if a forklift accident at the workplace doesn’t result in such serious consequences, it’s likely that a business will find still itself embroiled in workers’ compensation issues, and OSHA will always investigate the accident looking for regulatory violations. The infographic depicts the various recorded causes of accidents. Regardless of the ultimate resolution, a missing or incorrect data plate will be flagged, will result in OSHA fines and can be legal fodder. October 14th 2015
image-dna: The Importance of Considering Lateral Stability in Engineering Calculations of Lifttruck Capacity Ratings The Importance of Considering Lateral Stability in Engineering Calculations of Lifttruck Capacity Ratings http://www.lifttruckcapacitycalculator.com/blog/?p=34 | Understanding the lateral stability of a forklift is essential in order to ensure that operators complete jobs safely when using the equipment. The best way to think about lateral stability for a forklift is to compare it to your car. When you make this comparison, you can see that a forklift is narrower, higher up, and without suspension to handle bumps. Therefore, it is crucially important for an operator to practice safe driving techniques so the lift does not overturn. October 14th 2015
