Why will a fork lift truck tip longtitudinal?

A forklift truck can tip longitudinally, or forward, primarily due to an unbalanced load or improper operation. When the load is raised too high or is unevenly distributed, the center of gravity shifts beyond the wheelbase, leading to instability. Additionally, driving on inclines or making abrupt turns while carrying a heavy load can exacerbate this risk, causing the forklift to tip over. Proper load management and adherence to operational guidelines are essential to prevent such incidents.
