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 type of forklift is used to transport materials around lumberyards.
These types of forklifts are truly designed for rough terrain. Nevertheless, the equipment is top heavy and should be handled carefully in rough places. The machine 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, drivers are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed which is safe, specially if driving on rough terrain and when turning.
In order to avoid tipping over, never raise a load whilst operating on an incline. The load needs to be on the uphill side of the machinery if driving up a slope. When driving down an incline, backing down is a good safety practice.
