Travel Hazard
• Steering characteristics differ between 4-Wheel Steer & Pivot Steer telehandlers
as shown above. Identify the telehandler you are operating & others on the
jobsite.
• Ensure that adequate clearance is provided between both rear tail swing and
front fork swing.
• Unlike a conventional 4-wheel steer telehandler the rear wheels of a pivot steer
telehandler turn a wider circle than the front wheels.
• Look out for and avoid other personnel, machinery and vehicles in the
area. Use a spotter if you DO NOT have a clear view.
• Before moving be sure of a clear path and sound horn.
• When driving, retract boom and keep boom/attachment as low as possible
while maintaining visibility of mirrors and maximum visibility of path of
travel.
• Always look in the direction of travel.
• Always check boom clearances carefully before driving underneath
overhead obstructions. Position attachment/load to clear obstacles.
