Question: A telehandler is working on a construction site exposed to wind. The load being lifted has a large surface area. Which of the following is NOT an effective measure to mitigate wind-induced instability?
Answer options:
- Operating with outriggers fully extended and set ✅ Increasing the boom extension to provide more leverage against the wind
- Reducing the load's height and operating slowly
- Consulting the telehandler's operator manual for wind speed limitations
Correct answer: Increasing the boom extension to provide more leverage against the wind
Explanation: Extending the boom further would increase the leverage of the wind force on the load and boom, thereby significantly reducing stability and increasing the risk of a tip-over. Effective measures include reducing height, using outriggers, and adhering to documented wind limits (CSA B354.7).
