Rough Terrain Forklift
At construction sites and other types of locations where the surface is not paved, the rough terrain forklift is recommended. This particular type of forklift is utilized to transport materials around lumberyards.
These forklifts are designed for rough terrain. Nevertheless, the equipment is top heavy and needs to be carefully handled in rough locations. The equipment should be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
At faster speeds, steering is harder. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed limitations on forklifts. Then again, drivers are responsible for operating forklifts at a safe speed, specially when driving on rough terrain and when turning.
In order to avoid a tip over, never lift a load while operating on an incline. The load has to be on the machine's uphill drive if driving up an incline. When driving down a slope, it is good safety practice to back down.
