When transporting a load, what can braking cause?

When transporting a load, braking can indeed cause forward tipping. This phenomenon occurs when the weight of the load shifts due to the sudden deceleration of the hoisting equipment. If the load is not properly secured or balanced, the momentum can cause the center of gravity to shift forward, putting the hoisting equipment at risk of tipping over.

Proper load management and understanding the dynamics of load transportation are crucial in preventing such accidents. Ensuring that the load is evenly distributed and securely fastened helps maintain balance and stability, reducing the risk of forward tipping during braking maneuvers. Operators must always be mindful of their braking practices, especially when carrying heavy or unbalanced loads.
