Rough Terrain Forklift
The rough terrain forklift is recommended for applications at construction sites and various environments where there is no paved surface. This kind of forklift is used to shuttle materials around lumberyards.
These types of forklifts are truly designed for rough terrain. Nevertheless, the machinery is top heavy and has 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 limits on forklifts. Then again, drivers are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed that is safe, especially when turning and driving on rough terrain.
Not raising a load whilst operating on an incline would avoid a tip over. The load must be on the uphill side of the machinery when driving up a slope. When driving down a slope, it is good safety practice to back down.
