Telehandlers are heavy duty work machines produced specifically to operate in rough environment. This however, does not mean they can be driven without regard on rough environment. These kinds of machines have a a lot bigger 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 equipment while also keeping the load low. Downshift to 4WD and a lower gear, before getting on the slope. Using the engine brake will really help to control the speed of the telehandlers. Try to avoid turning on a slope if possible. If you have to make the turn, utilize extreme caution and take it as wide as possible.
Always try not to drive across very steep slopes. Use the telehandler's heavy end pointing up the incline, when ascending and descending slopes. Even when the forks have no load, the counterweighted rear of the machinery is fairly heavy; thus, it could be required to drive in reverse up slopes. When the telehandler is carrying a cargo, the front of the unit becomes the heavy end, and you can back the machinery down the slopes.
Operator training is hugely essential on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot machinery would normally operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering equipment, where everyone is permitted to operate all of the machinery. In this case, an individual who is used to utilizing a coordinated steer machinery can jump onto a rear-pivot machinery. A really key distinction between how these two units operate has a lot to do with what part of the machinery extends outside of the turning radius.
