| Telehandler Stability: Different Than a Forklift?
|
| Central to the safe operation of a lift truck is understanding the factors that affect stability. When it comes to Telehandlers, many of these factors come into play, but there are a few more to consider that are specific to telehandler stability. Start with the fact that a telehandler’s stability triangle and pyramid have a larger base due to a wider and longer chassis (and often the presence of outriggers). On some models outriggers can increase the lifting capacity (at maximum horizontal outreach) by as much as six times.
Secondly, telehandlers rely on this wider base so that they can reach higher than forklifts. But keep in mind that the higher the lift, the closer the center of gravity comes to the edge of the pyramid. If it reaches the edge, the result will be a tip over. |
