CAT Telehandler San Diego

To make sure that safety is a top priority, there are 5 important steps. In order to make sure that the model is visually safe, the first step is to perform a Walk-Around Inspection. Then check if the worksite is safe to operate in with a Worksite Assessment. The Function Test is the third step so as to know whether or not the model is functioning in a safe way. The 4th thing to think about is Proper Operation, so as to know whether or not the unit is safely working. Lastly, Proper Shutdown needs to be checked so as to make certain 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 main goal is to keep the telehandler upright, but surely there are dangers.



The rear-axle pivot point, and the two front wheels 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 center of gravity of the machinery, that is defined as the point in 3 dimensions around which the weight of the machinery is balanced, stays oriented in the stability triangle.



When a load is positioned on the forks while the boom is down, the center of gravity down and forward. The load if raised will move the center of gravity upwards to the rear. At the same time, the stability triangle shrinks when this occurs. Therefore, the higher you lift a load, the less of a margin for error you have because 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 that can change the stability triangle and leave less room for the frame to remain balanced if it is not completely level. For instance, 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 a point on the boom and the center of the ground. If the frame is not level, the center of gravity will not be oriented over the equipment's centerline. The stability triangle is always aligned with the centerline of the machine.
