In the videos below we can see examples of an object that is lifted from the ground. The video on the left shows an unstable lift, because the lift point is below the center of gravity, resulting in an ‘uncontrolled motion’ , or surge, that occurs when lifting the object. The video on the right shows a stable lift because the lift point crosses the center of gravity producing a more controlled lift. Press play on the videos below to see each example.
