Rough Terrain Forklift
At construction sites and other kinds 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. Nevertheless, the machinery is top heavy and has to be handled carefully in rough areas. The equipment should 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 limits on forklifts. However, operators are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed that is safe, specially when driving on rough terrain and when turning.
Not raising a load while operating on an incline would avoid tipping over. The load must be on the uphill side of the equipment if driving up a slope. When driving down a slope, backing down is a good safety practice.
