Question: What is the primary purpose of a telehandler's stability triangle?

Answer options: ✅ To define the area within which the telehandler's centre of gravity must remain for stable operation

  • To indicate the boom's maximum safe extension at any given angle
  • To calculate the maximum permissible load at various heights
  • To measure the telehandler's turning radius during confined space operation

Correct answer: To define the area within which the telehandler's centre of gravity must remain for stable operation

Explanation: The stability triangle defines the area on the ground between the front axle pivot points and the centre of the rear axle (or rear wheels if the axle is fixed). The telehandler's combined centre of gravity with its load must remain within this area to prevent tipping, as per CSA B354.7 operator training principles.
