The bridge was closed on Tuesday in both directions for several hours until the vehicle was removed.
The 56-year-old is due to appear at Dunfermline Sheriff Court later.
Police Scotland said the accident happened at about 14:50 while the bridge was closed to high-sided vehicles because of 50mph winds.
The lorry was righted at about 17:00, and escorted off the bridge an hour later.
Both carriageways had been closed over fears the trailer could move in high winds.
No-one was injured in the incident.
Mark Arndt, Amey's account director for the Forth Bridges, said: "This incident demonstrates the dangers of ignoring high wind restrictions on the Forth Road Bridge, and the potential consequences for drivers.
"On this occasion it was only a matter of luck that nobody was killed or injured, and a huge amount of disruption and frustration was caused to many thousands of people.
"We would urge all drivers of wind susceptible vehicles - which includes caravans, cars with trailers or roof boxes and motorcycles as well as high sided vehicles - to pay close attention to safety restrictions during high winds and to obey road signs.
"If you ignore these restrictions you risk your license, your job and potentially your liberty, as well as your own safety and that of other road users.
"I would also like to thank the great majority of responsible drivers who do pay attention to restrictions for their patience and understanding during this incident."
