Rough Terrain Forklift
The rough terrain forklift is best for applications at construction sites and various environments where there is no paved surface. This type of forklift is used to shuttle materials around lumberyards.
These kinds of forklifts are truly meant for rough terrain. Then again, the equipment is top heavy and has to be carefully handled in rough places. The equipment must 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 restrictions on forklifts. Nonetheless, operators are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed that is safe, specially when driving on rough terrain and when turning.
To prevent tipping over, never raise a load whilst operating on an incline. The load should be on the uphill side of the equipment when driving up a slope. When driving down an incline, it is good safety practice to back down.
