What condition of the tyres can significantly impact the stability of the forklift?

Tyre pressure plays a critical role in maintaining the stability of a forklift. Proper tyre pressure ensures that the forklift has the right amount of contact with the ground, which is essential for balance and stability, especially when maneuvering or lifting loads. Under-inflated tyres can lead to reduced load capacity and increased risk of tipping over, as they may not provide adequate support to the forklift's weight and any additional loads it is carrying. Conversely, over-inflated tyres can cause a harsh ride and reduce traction, which can also destabilize the forklift.

Monitoring and maintaining the correct tyre pressure is essential for safe and efficient operation, as it affects not only stability but also overall performance and fuel efficiency. By ensuring that the tyres are properly inflated, operators can maximize their control over the forklift, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring smooth operation.
