What is the risk of raising the load too high while driving?

Raising the load too high while operating a forklift significantly increases the risk of tipping over due to changes in the center of gravity. When a load is lifted, the forklift's center of gravity shifts higher, which can destabilize the vehicle, especially when making turns or navigating uneven surfaces. A higher load can also obscure the operator's view, making it more difficult to see obstacles and increasing the likelihood of accidents. It is essential to maintain loads at a safe height to ensure both the operator's safety and the stability of the forklift during operation. This understanding is crucial for preventing accidents in the workplace and maintaining a safe working environment.
