Telehandlers are machines that are meant to operate in rough terrain, however, that doesn't mean that they can be driven without any regard for the terrain. These machinery have a a lot greater 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 machinery while also keeping the load low. Downshift to 4WD and a lower gear, before getting on the slope. Utilizing the engine brake would really help to control the speed of the telehandlers. Try to avoid turning on a slope if possible. If you must make the turn, utilize extreme care and take it as wide as possible.
Under any circumstances, do not drive across extremely steep slopes. Ascend and descend slopes with the telehandler's heavy end pointing up the incline. Even when the forks have no cargo, the machine's counterweighted rear is quite heavy; thus, 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 machinery down the slopes.
Operator training is extremely essential on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot machines will normally operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering equipment, where everybody is allowed to utilize all of the machines. In this instance, an individual who is used to operating a coordinated steer equipment could jump onto a rear-pivot machine. A very significant difference between how these two units operate has a lot to do with which part of the machine extends outside of the turning radius.
