Question: An operator is travelling with a bulky load that obstructs the forward view of the telehandler. What is the safest procedure to follow on a busy Ontario job site?

Answer options: ✅ Travel in reverse slowly, using a spotter if available, and honk the horn periodically.

  • Attempt to extend the boom slightly to see around the load while driving forward slowly.
  • Proceed carefully forward, frequently stopping to check for pedestrians and obstacles.
  • Drive at a reduced speed, relying solely on side mirrors and frequent horn blasts.

Correct answer: Travel in reverse slowly, using a spotter if available, and honk the horn periodically.

Explanation: When a load obstructs forward vision, the safest practice is to travel in reverse. If reversing, the operator should use a spotter, if feasible, and ensure a clear path, sounding the horn as a warning to pedestrians (CSA B354.7).
