Question: A telehandler is being used to move scaffolding components. What is the best practice for travelling with a loaded telehandler across a rough unpaved surface?

Answer options:

  • Maintain maximum boom extension for better visibility over the load.
  • Travel with the load elevated high for clearance over obstacles. ✅ Keep the load as low as possible and tilted back, travelling slowly.
  • Engage four-wheel drive and shift into high gear for faster transit.

Correct answer: Keep the load as low as possible and tilted back, travelling slowly.

Explanation: Keeping the load low and tilted back minimizes pendulum swing, lowers the centre of gravity, and enhances stability, especially on uneven terrain. Slow travel further reduces dynamic forces.
