Telehandlers are machinery which are meant to work in rough terrain, although, that doesn't mean that they can be driven without any consideration for the environment. These kinds of 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 certain that you move slowly with the equipment while also keeping the load low. Downshift to 4WD and a lower gear, before getting on the slope. Utilizing the engine brake would help to control the speed of the telehandlers. Try to avoid turning on a slope if possible. If you need to make the turn, utilize extreme care and take it as wide as possible.
Always try to avoid driving across excessively steep slopes. Utilize the heavy end of the telehandler pointing up the incline, when descending and ascending slopes. Even when there is no load on the forks, the counterweighted rear of the machinery is fairly heavy; therefore, it could be required to drive backwards up slopes. Once 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 extremely important on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot machinery would normally operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering equipment, where everybody is permitted to utilize all of the machinery. In this case, an individual who is used to utilizing a coordinated steer equipment can jump onto a rear-pivot machine. A really significant difference between how these two units work depends on which part of the machinery extends outside of the turning radius.
