Rough Terrain Forklift
At construction sites and other types of locations where the surface is not paved, the rough terrain forklift is recommended. This particular kind of forklift is used to shuttle materials around lumberyards.
These kinds of forklifts are really meant for rough terrain. However, the machine is top heavy and must be carefully handled in rough places. The equipment needs to be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
Steering is more difficult at faster speeds. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed restrictions on forklifts. Nevertheless, drivers are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed which is safe, specially if turning and driving on rough terrain.
Not lifting a load while operating on an incline will prevent tipping over. The load must be on the uphill side of the machine when driving up a slope. If driving down a slope, it is good safety practice to back down.
