To make certain that safety is a top priority, there are 5 key steps. In order to ensure that the model is visually safe, the first step is to perform a Walk-Around Inspection. After that check if the worksite is safe to utilize with a Worksite Assessment. The Function Test is the third step in order to know whether or not the model is safely working. The 4th thing to think about is Proper Operation, so as to determine whether or not the unit is safely working. Last of all, Proper Shutdown needs to be checked in order to make sure the model is in a safe place and is capable of shutting down correctly.
There is a machine which lifts heavy weights to impressive heights upon a triangular footprint at the center of the 5 steps and this regulation. The key objective is to keep the telehandler upright, but surely there are risks.
The rear-axle pivot point, and the two front wheels make up the telehandler's triangular base. Usually the rear axle oscillates and thus, the back wheels are not a part of the base. The telehandler remains upright so long as the center of gravity of the equipment, which is defined as the point in 3 dimensions around which the equipment's weight is balanced, stays oriented in the stability triangle.
When the boom is down, adding a load to the forks at that same time moves the center of gravity forward and down. Lifting the load would change the center of gravity to the rear and upwards. At the same time, the stability triangle shrinks when this occurs. Hence, the higher you raise a load, the less of a margin for error you have as the stability triangle lessens.
When the stability triangle is small, it leaves less room for the center of gravity to move left or right. It is this wandering action which can change the stability triangle and leave less room for the frame to remain balanced if it is not completely level. Like for example, imagine the center of gravity resembling a plumb bob hanging from the boom. You can always find the center of gravity somewhere on a totally vertical line between the center of the ground and a point on the boom. If the frame is not level, the center of gravity would not be oriented over the equipment's centerline. The stability triangle is always aligned with the telehandler's centerline.
