A pallet contains an unbalanced load with one end heavier than the other. Which end should be against the heel of the fork arms?

The correct approach is to place the heaviest end of the pallet against the heel of the fork arms. Positioning the heavier end in this manner provides greater stability during transportation. When the weight is closer to the fork arms, it enhances the center of gravity, reducing the risk of tipping or swaying as the forklift moves.

If the lighter end were against the heel, the load could become unstable, leading to challenges in control and increasing the potential for accidents or cargo damage. Ensuring that the heaviest part of the load is supported correctly helps maintain balance, improves safety, and facilitates the effective handling of the pallet.

Other choices may suggest alternative placements, but these do not take into account the critical need for stability and balance when moving unbalanced loads.
