Question

if you were traveling forks first and stopped your lift truck suddenly, what effect would this have on the load?
it would cause the load to shift to the right.
it would cause the load to shift to the left.
it would cause the load to shift forward (toward the forks).
it would cause the load to shift backward (toward the tractor).

Explanation:

According to the principle of inertia, an object in motion tends to stay in motion. When the lift truck stops suddenly, the load, which was moving forward (forks - first direction), will continue its forward - motion tendency relative to the truck.

Answer:

It would cause the load to shift forward (toward the forks).
