Question: A telehandler operator is performing a pick and carry operation with a load that obscures their forward visibility. What is the most appropriate action to ensure safety?

Answer options:

  • Proceed slowly, relying on peripheral vision to navigate.
  • Drive in reverse, using mirrors and turning to observe the path. ✅ Follow a spotter who can guide the telehandler from a safe distance.
  • Raise the load higher to improve visibility over it.

Correct answer: Follow a spotter who can guide the telehandler from a safe distance.

Explanation: When a load obstructs forward visibility, the safest procedure is to use a competent, dedicated spotter who can guide the operator. Driving purely in reverse or relying on peripheral vision increases the risk of collision, and raising the load would dangerously decrease stability.
