Question: What primary function does the 'Stability Triangle' play regarding telehandler operation?

Answer options: ✅ It defines the area within which the telehandler maintains stability and will not tip over.

  • It indicates the maximum permissible load at various boom angles.
  • It measures the efficiency of the hydraulic system during lifting operations.
  • It outlines the safe operating speed on uneven terrain.

Correct answer: It defines the area within which the telehandler maintains stability and will not tip over.

Explanation: The Stability Triangle graphically represents the area on the ground defined by the points of contact of the telehandler's wheels (or outriggers/stabilizers when deployed). As long as the centre of gravity of the telehandler and its load remains within this triangle, the machine will remain stable and resist overturning, as per CSA B354.7 guidance.
