Good question! A general rule is to keep at least three truck lengths between forklifts to allow for safe stopping and reaction time. Always adjust for speed and load weight!

Good questions! Always keep the load low and tilted slightly back for stability. Also, make sure it’s evenly distributed to avoid tipping. OSHA has strict guidelines on weight limits and lifting heights—definitely worth checking those out!
