What is a consequence of having low tyre pressure in a forklift?

Having low tyre pressure in a forklift is particularly hazardous as it can significantly increase the risk of the forklift tipping over. Tyres that are under-inflated do not provide adequate support, which can affect the balance and stability of the forklift. This instability is especially critical when transporting loads or taking turns, as the weight distribution shifts. An unstable forklift may easily tip, leading to accidents and potentially serious injuries.

In contrast, options such as increased fuel efficiency, improved stability, and better maneuverability are not typically associated with low tyre pressure. In fact, proper tyre inflation is essential for optimal performance on all these fronts, making the understanding of tyre maintenance critical for safe and effective forklift operation.
