Question: A telehandler operator is required to move a 2,000 kg pallet of insulation boards across a busy laydown yard. What is the most appropriate position for the telehandler's boom and forks during travel with this load?
Answer options: ✅ Boom fully retracted, forks low to the ground (approx. 15-30 cm) and tilted slightly back.
- Boom partially extended to improve visibility over the load, forks at chest height.
- Boom fully raised to clear potential obstacles, forks tilted flat.
- Boom at eye level to observe load movement, forks just above the ground.
Correct answer: Boom fully retracted, forks low to the ground (approx. 15-30 cm) and tilted slightly back.
Explanation: According to CSA B354.7 and general safe operating practices, travelling with the boom fully retracted, forks low to the ground (often 15-30 cm, or 6-12 inches) and tilted slightly back maximizes stability, improves visibility, and reduces the risk of overturning. This keeps the centre of gravity low and stable.
