Abstract

Forklifts are used for material movement from one place to another. The purpose of the study was to find out the effective method for stability testing of the industrial forklift truck (FLT) with the help of CAD model of the forklift. The forklift should be stable along lateral and longitudinal axis while moving with and without load on plain ground as well as on slopes specified. These methods of stability testing and their values in different conditions are specified in IS4357. This paper focuses on procedure for stability testing of forklift in CAD before actual manufacturing of the truck.
