Telehandlers are machinery which are meant to operate in rough terrain, however, that doesn't mean that they could be driven without any consideration for the terrain. These kinds of machinery have a a lot bigger risk of tipping over or load loss 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, prior to getting on the slope. Utilizing the engine brake would help to control the speed of the telehandlers. Try not to turn on a slope if possible. If you need to make the turn, take it as wide as possible and utilize extreme caution.
Always try not to drive across very steep slopes. Use the telehandler's heavy end 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 quite heavy; hence, 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 will be able to back the machine down the slopes.
Operator training is hugely essential on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot equipment will usually operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering machinery, where everybody is permitted to use all of the machinery. In this case, an individual who is used to utilizing a coordinated steer machinery could jump onto a rear-pivot equipment. A really key difference between how these two units work depends on which part of the machinery extends outside of the turning radius.
