How is the stability triangle affected when a forklift is travelling over uneven ground?

Question: How is the stability triangle affected when a forklift is travelling over uneven ground?

Answer options: ✅ The centre of gravity can shift outside the stability triangle, increasing the risk of tip-over.

• The stability triangle temporarily becomes larger.
• The forklift's suspension system automatically re-levels the triangle.
• There is no effect, as the stability triangle is a fixed geometric concept.

Correct answer: The centre of gravity can shift outside the stability triangle, increasing the risk of tip-over.

Explanation: Uneven ground can cause the forklift's centre of gravity to shift laterally or longitudinally, potentially moving it outside the stability triangle and leading to instability or tip-over, as explained in CSA B335.
