Rough Terrain Forklift
At construction sites and other kinds of locations where the surface is not paved, the rough terrain forklift is best. This kind of forklift is used to shuttle materials around lumberyards.
These types of forklifts are truly meant for rough terrain. Nevertheless, the machinery is top heavy and must be carefully handled in rough areas. The equipment needs to be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
At higher speeds, steering is harder. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed limits on forklifts. Nonetheless, operators are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed that is safe, specially when driving on rough terrain and when turning.
In order to avoid a tip over, do not lift a load while operating on an incline. The load has to be on the uphill side of the machine if driving up an incline. When driving down an incline, it is good safety practice to back down.
