Telehandlers are machines which are designed to work in rough terrain, however, that doesn't mean that they could be driven without any regard for the environment. These machinery have a a lot greater risk of tipping over or load loss when they are traveling on slopes.
When traveling on a slope, make certain that you move slowly with the machinery while also keeping the load low. Downshift to 4WD and a lower gear, prior to getting on the slope. Utilizing the engine brake will really help to control the telehandler's speed. Try to avoid turning on a slope if possible. If you must make the turn, take it as wide as possible and utilize extreme caution.
Always try not to drive across very steep slopes. Utilize the telehandler's heavy end pointing up the incline, when descending and ascending slopes. Even when there is no cargo on the forks, the counterweighted rear of the equipment is quite heavy; therefore, it could be necessary to drive backwards up slopes. Once the telehandler is carrying a cargo, the front of the unit becomes the heavy end, and you would be able to back the machine down the slopes.
Operator training is hugely essential on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot equipment would often operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering equipment, where everybody is allowed to operate all of the machines. In this instance, an individual who is used to operating a coordinated steer machine can jump onto a rear-pivot equipment. A really significant distinction between how these two units operate depends on which part of the equipment extends outside of the turning radius.
