Question: A telehandler is equipped with stabilizers. When are these stabilizers primarily designed to be deployed for optimal stability?
Answer options: ✅ During all lifting operations, especially when the boom is extended beyond the chassis.
- Only when operating on severely uneven terrain or slopes.
- Mainly for transporting loads across the job site.
- Only when the telehandler's tires are underinflated.
Correct answer: During all lifting operations, especially when the boom is extended beyond the chassis.
Explanation: Stabilizers significantly increase the stability base (effectively widening the stability triangle) of the telehandler, particularly when the boom is extended, and loads are elevated. For most lifting operations, especially those involving significant reach or height, stabilizers must be properly deployed and set to ensure stability, as specified by manufacturer guidelines and CSA B354.7.
