When picking up a load with an forklift the correct fork spacing should be?

When picking up a load with a forklift, the correct fork spacing should be adjusted to match the width of the load to ensure stability and balance. The forks should be positioned so that they provide adequate support without exceeding the load's center of gravity. Proper spacing helps prevent tipping and ensures safe handling during transport. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the load is securely positioned on the forks to avoid slippage.
