When parking a forklift, what is the correct position for the forks?

The correct position for the forks when parking a forklift is when they are lowered to the ground. Lowering the forks to the ground helps ensure safety by providing a stable, non-wobbly stance for the forklift, reducing the chances of it tipping over. It also minimizes the risk of accidents, as low forks are less likely to strike people or objects nearby.

Additionally, parking with the forks lowered can prevent potential damage to the forks themselves or to any pallets that might be in the vicinity. In many operational protocols, this practice is emphasized not only for safety purposes but also for maintaining the forklift's condition and extending its service life. Keeping the forks at a low angle helps maintain an organized workspace.
