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