Question: What is the recommended procedure for safely placing a load using a telehandler?

Answer options:

  • Use momentum to swing the load into place.
  • Place the load from maximum boom extension to prove the machine's capabilities.

Correct answer: Approach slowly, position the load over the target, lower it gently, and then retract the boom after the load is stable.
