Rough Terrain Forklift
The rough terrain forklift is best for applications at construction sites and different environments where there is no paved surface. This type of forklift is utilized to shuttle materials around lumberyards.
These types of forklifts are really designed for rough terrain. Then again, the machine is top heavy and must be handled carefully in rough areas. The equipment has to be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
Steering is more difficult at higher speeds. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed restrictions on forklifts. However, operators are responsible for operating forklifts at a safe speed, particularly if driving on rough terrain and when turning.
To prevent tipping over, never lift a load while operating on an incline. The load needs to be on the uphill side of the machinery if driving up an incline. When driving down an incline, it is good safety practice to back down.
