Question
why should a lift truck not be turned on a ramp?
because the turning radius will not allow you to turn.
because the lift truck could tip over..
because the lift truck is too big to turn on a ramp.
because the forks will drag on the surface of the ramp.
When a lift truck is turned on a ramp, the center of gravity shifts. This shift can cause the truck to tip over. Turning radius and size are not the main concerns here. Forks dragging is also not the critical factor. The key is the stability issue due to the ramp - induced center - of - gravity change.
