What is a forklift truck?A forklift is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move loads. It has a mast and an elevating load carriage with a pair of fork arms or other load-holding parts.
As you can see below, there are different types of forklifts. The most common forklift is the counterbalance truck.

Think of a counterbalance forklift truck as being like a see-saw. If you put too much weight on one end it tips over.
All the weight behind the point of balance acts as a counterweight.
Basic forklift concepts
Point of balance (fulcrum)
The most common forklift is the counterbalance type.
This means they carry the load on the front mounted tynes and use all the weight behind the front wheels to counterbalance the load.
The point of balance on a forklift is called the fulcrum. Think of it as a vertical line through the axle of the front wheel, where the line meets the ground.

The stability triangleA forklift has a three-point suspension that is called the stability triangle.
The stability triangle is formed by the front axle (drive wheels touching the ground) and the centre point mount in the middle of the rear (steering axle).
The forklift centre of gravity must stay within the stability triangle
ALWAYS KEEP THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY INSIDE THE STABILITY TRIANGLE
If the centre of gravity goes outside either side of the triangle the forklift will tip over sideways (lateral tipping).
If the centre of gravity goes outside the fulcrum (forward point of balance) then the forklift will tip lengthways (longitudinal tipping).
The centre of gravity in the stability triangle is like a ball floating in water and can easily move. The centre of gravity moves by the driver lifting, lowering, tilting, turning, accelerating, braking, and driving over uneven ground. Any of these movements done too quickly can send the centre of gravity outside the stability triangle.
Some causes include:
• Overloading the forklift
• Braking too hard
• Sudden tilting forward of a high load
• Shifting load centre.
Some causes include:
• Driving too fast (especially without a load)
• Turning too fast
• Turning on an incline
• Travelling with a raised load.

Performance Criterion: 1.5
Hazard control measuresWhat are hazard control measures?
They are actions you take to control or prevent a danger that can injure (hurt) you. Use controls to reduce the risk to workmates and property. Set up the hazard controls before you start the task. The hierarchy of hazard control tells you the steps to take so you can reduce the danger from hazards.
A risk is the chance of a hazard injuring a person. In other words, what is the chance of the hazard hurting you?
Theory Training Task 12Performance Criterion: 2.3, 2.9
a) What is a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) used for?
b) What other forms could you use to show how you will control a hazard?
Safe work method statementThis SWMS is site-specific statement that must be prepared before any high-risk construction work is commenced.
Person responsible for ensuring compliance with this SWMS:
Date:
High-risk job: Location:
What are the tasks involved? What are the hazards and risks? How will hazards and risks be controlled? (describe the control measures and how they will be used)
Think about the worksite and each stage of the project, including preparation and clean-up.
