Rough Terrain Forklift
At construction sites and other kinds of environments where the surface is not paved, the rough terrain forklift is recommended. This type of forklift is utilized to transport materials around lumberyards.
These kinds of forklifts are really meant for rough terrain. However, the machinery is top heavy and should be carefully handled in rough locations. The machine needs to be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
Steering is more challenging at higher speeds. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed limitations on forklifts. Nonetheless, drivers are responsible for operating forklifts at a safe speed, specially when driving on rough terrain and when turning.
To avoid a tip over, never raise a load while operating on an incline. The load should be on the machine's uphill drive when driving up an incline. When driving down an incline, backing down is a good safety practice.
