Telehandlers are heavy duty work machinery made specifically to work in rough environment. This however, does not mean they can be driven without regard on rough environment. These kinds of equipments have a a lot bigger risk of tipping over or load loss when they are traveling on slopes.
If you do have to travel on a slope, ensure that you proceed slowly and carefully while keeping the load low. Prior to getting on the slope, downshift to 4WD and a lower gear. Utilizing the engine brake would help to control the speed of the telehandlers. Try not to turn on a slope if possible. If you must make the turn, utilize extreme care and take it as wide as possible.
Under any circumstances, avoid driving across excessively 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; hence, it can be required to drive backwards up slopes. When the telehandler is carrying a cargo, the front of the unit becomes the heavy end, and you could back the machinery down the slopes.
Operator training is hugely important on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot machinery would normally operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering machines, where everybody is permitted to operate all of the machinery. In this case, a person who is used to using a coordinated steer equipment could jump onto a rear-pivot machinery. A really key difference between how these two units operate depends on what part of the equipment extends outside of the turning radius.
