Rough Terrain Forklift
At construction sites and other types of environments 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 forklifts are designed for rough terrain. Nevertheless, the equipment is top heavy and has to be carefully handled in rough places. The machinery should be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
Steering is more challenging at higher speeds. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed limits on forklifts. Nonetheless, drivers are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed that is safe, especially when driving on rough terrain and when turning.
In order to avoid a tip over, never raise a load while operating on an incline. The load needs to be on the machine's uphill drive when driving up an incline. If driving down a slope, it is good safety practice to back down.
