What is a Forklift Counterweight?
A counterweight is a substantial mass incorporated into the rear of a forklift. Its primary function is to counterbalance the load being lifted at the front, ensuring the forklift’s stability.
By offsetting the weight of the load, the counterweight prevents the forklift from tipping forward when carrying heavy items. This critical component plays a pivotal role in maintaining the safe and efficient operation of a forklift, thereby enhancing workplace safety.
