How High Should a load be carried on a forklift?

A load should be carried on a forklift at a height that allows for safe visibility and stability, typically around 4 to 6 inches off the ground. This height minimizes the risk of tipping and ensures that the load is secure during transport. Additionally, operators should be cautious of overhead obstacles and ensure the load is balanced and within the forklift's rated capacity. Proper load handling techniques enhance safety and efficiency in material handling.
