Question: A telehandler is operating on a slight incline. The operator extends the boom with a load. Which stability factor is most immediately affected, potentially leading to a tip-over?

Answer options: ✅ Longitudinal stability

  • Lateral stability
  • Dynamic stability
  • Static stability

Correct answer: Longitudinal stability

Explanation: Operating on an incline significantly reduces longitudinal stability when extending a boom forward, as the centre of gravity shifts closer to the tipping axis formed by the front wheels, increasing the risk of forward tip-over. This is a critical factor addressed in CSA B354.7 and OHS regulations.
