Telehandlers are machinery that are meant to work in rough terrain, however, that doesn't mean that they can be driven without any regard for the terrain. These machinery have a a lot bigger risk of tipping over or load loss when they are traveling on slopes.
If you do have to travel on a slope, make certain that you proceed slowly and carefully while keeping the load low. Prior to getting on the slope, downshift to 4WD and a lower gear. Using the engine brake would help to control the speed of the telehandlers. Try not to turn on a slope if possible. If you must make the turn, utilize extreme caution and take it as wide as possible.
Always try not to drive across excessively steep slopes. Utilize the heavy end of the telehandler pointing up the incline, when descending and ascending slopes. Even when the forks have no cargo, the machine's counterweighted rear is fairly heavy; hence, it can be required to drive backwards up slopes. When the telehandler is carrying a cargo, the front of the unit becomes the heavy end, and you can back the machine down the slopes.
Operator training is hugely important on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot machines will normally operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering machines, where everybody is permitted to operate all of the equipment. In this case, an individual who is used to utilizing a coordinated steer machinery can jump onto a rear-pivot equipment. A very key distinction between how these two units operate has a lot to do with what part of the equipment extends outside of the turning radius.
