Hi

I would like to know how to calculate forklift center of gravity
considering three wheeled forklift with two wheels at the front. will the center of gravity be (2*h)/3 from the rear wheel?
based on this how would we calculate the wheel load on each wheel when forklift is laden and unladen

Help would be appreciated

Thank you
