Abstract: A stability system for inhibiting tipping of a lift vehicle. The lift vehicle includes a propulsion system and a chassis supported by a first ground engaging structure proximate a first end and a second ground engaging structure proximate a second end, as well as a platform moveable between a raised position and a lowered position. A stability system includes a first body configured to extend at least partially between the first ground engaging structure and the second ground engaging structure, wherein the first body is moveable between a deployed position enhancing the stability of the lift vehicle when the platform is in the raised position, and a stowed position when the platform is in the lowered position. When the first body is in the deployed position, the stability system produces an output indicating that a force having an upward component has been exerted on the first body.
