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 utilized to shuttle materials around lumberyards.
These types of forklifts are really meant for rough terrain. Then again, the equipment is top heavy and must be carefully handled in rough places. The machinery needs 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 limitations on forklifts. However, operators are responsible for operating forklifts at a safe speed, specially if driving on rough terrain and when turning.
Not lifting a load while operating on an incline would avoid a tip over. The load has to be on the machine's uphill drive when driving up a slope. If driving down an incline, backing down is a good safety practice.
