Rough Terrain Forklift
The rough terrain forklift is recommended for applications at construction sites and various environments where there is no paved surface. This particular type of forklift is utilized to shuttle materials around lumberyards.
These types of forklifts are truly designed for rough terrain. Then again, the equipment is top heavy and should be carefully handled in rough areas. The equipment has to be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
Steering is more challenging at faster 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 if driving on rough terrain and when turning.
Not lifting a load whilst operating on an incline will avoid a tip over. The load must be on the machine's uphill drive when driving up an incline. If driving down an incline, backing down is a good safety practice.
