What is the correct practice for ensuring stability during high lifts with a stacker?

Balancing the load evenly on the forks is crucial for maintaining stability during high lifts with a stacker. When the load is evenly distributed, it helps to ensure that the center of gravity remains stable, reducing the risk of tipping over. An unbalanced load can lead to increased likelihood of the stacker becoming unstable as it elevates the load, especially at heights where the risk of toppling is greater.

Proper balance also contributes to safe operation and control of the stacker, allowing the operator to maneuver more effectively without risking injury to themselves, damage to the equipment, or accidents in the workplace. This principle is fundamental to safe lifting practices in material handling environments.
