Telehandlers are machines which are designed to work in rough environment, however, that doesn't mean that they could be driven without any regard for the environment. These machinery have a a lot bigger risk of tipping over or load loss when they are traveling on slopes.
If you do need to travel on a slope, make certain that you proceed carefully and slowly while keeping the load low. Before getting on the slope, downshift to 4WD and a lower gear. Using the engine brake will really help to control the telehandler's speed. Try not to turn on a slope if possible. If you need to make the turn, take it as wide as possible and use extreme care.
Always try not to drive across extremely steep slopes. Use the heavy end of the telehandler pointing up the incline, when descending and ascending slopes. Even when there is no cargo on the forks, the counterweighted rear of the machinery is fairly heavy; therefore, it can 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 would be able to back the machine down the slopes.
Operator training is extremely essential on a mixed jobsite. Rear pivot equipment would usually operate on the same jobsite of coordinated steering machines, where everyone is permitted to use all of the machinery. In this instance, an individual who is used to operating a coordinated steer machine can jump onto a rear-pivot machinery. A very significant difference between how these two units work has a lot to do with which part of the machine extends outside of the turning radius.
