Forklift Impact Severity Matrix (Forklifts ~2–5T Capacity, ~3–8T Operating Weight)
| Severity | G Value / Acceleration | What it means | Typical example | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Very Low | < 0.8G (less than 0.8× gravity, very light acceleration) | Normal operation | Driving over uneven floor | Ignore |
| Low | 0.8–1.2G (around gravity level, light shock acceleration) | Minor impact | Light contact with pallet | Monitor |
| Medium | 1.2–2.0G (above gravity, moderate acceleration force) | Noticeable impact | Hitting racking / dropping load | Review |
| High | > 2.0G (more than 2× gravity, high acceleration force) | Serious impact | Collision / heavy shock | Investigate immediately |
