   • Steering Your Forklift Isn’t as Simple as Turning
   • the Wheel
   • Many accidents occur with industrial forklifts because the operators do not understand or have control of the machine’s rear end swing.
   • Forklift trucks steer from the rear axle and pivot on the front wheels, the rear end (counterweight) swinging wide when turning. Ensure that the rear end swings clear of materials, racks equipment and pedestrians when rounding corners or maneuvering in aisle and tight places.

    • Powered Industrial How they Work – Part 3
    • trucks
    • Don’t expect a forklift to handle like a car or truck.
    • Because of the counterweight over its rear wheels, a forklift is much heavier than a car. As a result, it can’t stop or turn quickly.
    • When turning a forklift, watch behind you to make sure the rear end of the lift doesn’t run into anything – or anyone. Also keep an eye out for your forks and any load you may be carrying.
    • Most forklifts have a three-point suspension system. The three points are the two front wheels and the pivot point of the rear axle. Connect the three points, and you have what’s called the stability triangle.
