Stability, road holding, weight distribution can be compromised
On the ground.
Lift is something on a car. It makes a car or truck higher off the ground.
When one adds a suspension kit and larger sized tires to a truck it becomes "lifted". One must buy a lift kit which has everything the person needs to "lift" their truck. The term "lifted truck" generally means a truck that is higher up from the ground.
it would be 21 inches off the ground
The center of gravity of an unloaded lift truck is typically located near the middle of the truck's chassis, slightly above the ground. This position allows for stability and balance when the truck is not carrying a load. However, the exact location can vary depending on the design and configuration of the lift truck. When a load is added, the center of gravity shifts depending on the weight and position of the load.
When transporting a load, you should not raise your load more than 8" from the ground.
No, you cannot drive a lift truck over any type of surface. Lift trucks are designed for specific surfaces, typically flat and stable areas like concrete or asphalt. Driving them on uneven, soft, or unstable surfaces can lead to accidents, tipping, or damage to the truck. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines and assess the site conditions before operating a lift truck.
When leaving a lift truck on an incline, always ensure that the forks are lowered to the ground to provide stability. Engage the parking brake to prevent the truck from rolling, and turn off the engine. If applicable, use wheel chocks to further secure the truck in place. Additionally, ensure that the truck is positioned away from pedestrian pathways for safety.
because he has to do that or else the dog dies
this is possible although not a professional/very safe method it will work in emergencies, positon the forks on the live truck together and put them under the counterweight of the dead truck (only the tips of the forks though!) then gently lift the back wheels off the ground and move forward, someone must be on the dead truck to apply the breaks in case they are needed, and proceed very carefully steering with the live truck. hope that made sense :)
You may carry a pedestrian on a lift truck only if it is specifically designed for that purpose and if all safety protocols are followed. The pedestrian must be trained and equipped with appropriate safety gear, such as a harness, and must remain in a designated safe area during the lift. Additionally, the operator must ensure that the lift truck is operated under safe conditions, with clear communication and supervision. Always adhere to local regulations and company policies regarding lift truck operations.
I have 33x12.5 on my truck and a three inch body lift
