Forklift Counterweight

Forklift counterweights are essential components that contribute significantly to the stability and safe operation of forklifts. These counterweights are typically located at the rear of the forklift and are designed to offset the weight of the load being lifted by the forks. By balancing the weight, the counterweights help prevent the forklift from tipping forward. Forklift counterweights are often made of dense materials such as iron or steel to provide the necessary mass for stability. They come in various shapes and sizes, depending on the forklift's capacity and design. Properly sized and positioned counterweights are critical to ensuring safe lifting operations and preventing accidents in industrial environments.
