this operation has obviously never had forklift training..I have seen a man killed from one rolling over...it's not the least bit funny to forever live with the image.
The "operator"(what a jack-ass) didn't have the mast tilted back far enough. Loads like this are run-of-the-mill at my job. There's never a problem with this much weight unless you don't tilt back.
Actually, it does have a rather large counterweight. Look at the section above the rear wheels, where the grille is, and where the propane tank sits. That is the counterweight and it is a solid hunk of cast iron.
Based on the size of the lift itself, I would say that has a maximum load capacity of close to 8,000lbs/3600kg

Or else the operator hit the brakes hard with the load up high. Such a fast stop can cause a tipover even if the load is under capacity
