English to French Other Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Fulcrum Point
The point on a forklift where the weight of the truck and the weight of the load is balanced is the fulcrum point.
On a counterbalanced forklift, the fulcrum point is axle between the front wheels.
If the weight of a load is even with the weight of the truck, the forklift might “see-saw” at the fulcrum point.

"Figure 18. The forklift teeters and finds its balance point. As the load is added to the seesaw, the moment is increased on the right side. The loaded forklift reverses and finds a new balance point at its combined center of gravity. "
