What is the purpose of a forklift stability system?

The primary purpose of a forklift stability system is to detect and prevent conditions that may lead to tipping while carrying loads. This system is crucial in maintaining the balance of the forklift, especially when it is loaded, as forklifts have a high center of gravity, making them susceptible to tipping over if not handled properly. The stability system works by monitoring various parameters, such as load weight, distribution, and the angle of the forklift, to ensure it operates within safe limits. By providing alerts or taking corrective actions, this system enhances the safety of both the operator and the surrounding environment.

In contrast, monitoring fuel levels, managing speed, and increasing lifting power are functions that, while important for forklift operation, do not directly address the critical safety concerns related to maintaining stability during operation. This makes the function of a stability system uniquely vital in preventing accidents and ensuring safe operation above all other factors.
