Question: A telehandler is carrying a 2,000 kg load on a site with a 15% grade. If the telehandler's rated capacity on a level surface is 4,000 kg at the current boom extension, what is a critical consideration for ascending this grade?

Answer options: ✅ The effective capacity of the telehandler will be reduced on the incline.

  • The load should be lowered to just above the ground for stability.
  • The operator must increase travel speed to maintain momentum.
  • The load capacity remains unchanged as long as it's within the level-ground rating.

Correct answer: The effective capacity of the telehandler will be reduced on the incline.

Explanation: Operating on an incline significantly reduces the telehandler's stability and effective rated capacity, requiring a downward adjustment from the level ground rating, as per CSA B354.6 and manufacturer's guidelines.
