To make sure that safety is a top priority, there are 5 important steps. To be able to make certain that the model is visually safe, the initial step is to perform a Walk-Around Inspection. Then assess if the worksite is safe to utilize with a Worksite Assessment. The Function Test is the third step so as to know whether or not the unit is functioning in a safe way. The 4th thing to consider is Proper Operation, so as to know whether or not the model is safely working. Last of all, Proper Shutdown should be checked in order to make sure the unit is in a safe place and is capable of shutting down correctly.
There is a machinery that lifts heavy weights to impressive heights upon a triangular footprint at the center of the 5 steps and this regulation. The key goal is to maintain the telehandler upright, but for sure there are risks.
The two front wheels, and the rear-axle pivot point make up the triangular base of the telehandler. Usually the rear axle oscillates and thus, the rear wheels are not a part of the base. The telehandler remains upright so long as the machine's center of gravity, which is defined as the point in 3 dimensions around which the weight of the equipment is balanced, stays oriented in the stability triangle.
When a load is placed on the forks while the boom is down, the center of gravity forward and down. The load if lifted would change the center of gravity upwards to the rear. At the same time, the stability triangle shrinks when this happens. Therefore, the higher you lift a load, the less of a margin for error you have since the stability triangle lessens.
When the stability triangle is small, it leaves less room for the center of gravity to move right or left. It is this wandering action that can change the stability triangle and leave less room for the frame to remain balanced if it is not perfectly level. For instance, imagine the center of gravity resembling a plumb bob hanging from the boom. You will always be able to find the center of gravity someplace on a totally vertical line between a point on the boom and the center of the ground. If the frame is not level, the center of gravity would not be oriented over the centerline of the machine. The stability triangle is always aligned with the telehandler's centerline.
