To make sure that safety is a top priority, there are 5 important steps. In order to make certain that the model is visually safe, the initial step is to perform a Walk-Around Inspection. Next check if the worksite is safe to operate in with a Worksite Assessment. The Function Test is the third step so as to determine whether or not the model is safely working. The 4th thing to think about is Proper Operation, in order to know whether or not the model is operating safely. Last of all, Proper Shutdown should be checked so as to make sure the model is in a safe place and is capable of shutting down properly.
There is a machinery 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 be able to keep the telehandler upright, but for sure there are risks.
The rear-axle pivot point, and the two front wheels make up the triangular base of the telehandler. Usually the rear axle oscillates and hence, the back wheels are not a part of the base. The telehandler remains upright as long as the equipment's center of gravity, which is defined as the point in 3 dimensions around which the weight of the machinery is balanced, stays oriented in the stability triangle.
When the boom is down, adding a load to the forks at that time moves the center of gravity forward and down. Raising the load will change the center of gravity to the rear and upwards. At the same time, the stability triangle shrinks when this occurs. Thus, the higher you lift a load, the less of a margin for error you have because the stability triangle lessens.
With a small but stable stability triangle, it leaves less room for the center of gravity to move left or right. This wandering action can change the stability triangle, leaving less room for the frame to remain balanced if it is not perfectly level. For example, imagine the center of gravity resembling a plumb bob hanging from the boom. You would always be able to find the center of gravity someplace 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 will not be oriented over the centerline of the machine. The stability triangle is always aligned with the centerline of the machine.
