Is a loaded forklift more likely to tip over when its load is lifted?

[antrea]

Homework Statement

Is it more possible for a loaded forklift to fall off when its load is lifted? I know that when the center of mass of an object is higher then it is easier to fall off. But when using ΣΜ=0 then the distance on the y axis does not matter only the distance from the rotating axis does.

Relevant Equations

ΣΜ=0

?

Is it more possible for a loaded forklift to fall off when its load is lifted?

Did you mean "fall over" or' tip over"?

But when using ΣΜ=0 then the distance on the y-axis does not matter only the distance from the rotating axis does.

This is correct. So...?
