Telehandlers are equipments which are designed to work in rough terrain, however, that doesn't mean that they can be driven without any regard for the terrain. 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 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 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 care.
Always try not to drive across very steep slopes. Utilize the heavy end of the telehandler pointing up the incline, when ascending and descending slopes. Even when the forks have no cargo, the machine's counterweighted rear is quite heavy; therefore, it could be required to drive in reverse up slopes. Once the telehandler is carrying a load, the front of the unit becomes the heavy end, and you would be able to back the equipment down the slopes.
Operator training is hugely essential on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot machinery will normally operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering machinery, where everyone is permitted to utilize all of the equipment. In this case, an individual who is used to using a coordinated steer equipment could jump onto a rear-pivot machine. A very significant difference between how these two units work has much to do with which part of the machine extends outside of the turning radius.
