CAT Telehandler Phoenix

There are 5 key steps to making certain that safety is a main concern. The first step is completing a Walk-Around Inspection in order to insure that the unit is visually safe. After that assess if the worksite is safe to operate in with a Worksite Assessment. The Function Test is the third step in order to determine whether or not the unit is functioning safely. The 4th thing to think about is Proper Operation, so as to know whether or not the unit is safely operating. Last of all, Proper Shutdown must be checked in order to make certain the unit is capable of shutting down correctly and is in a safe place.



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 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 back axle oscillates and therefore, the rear wheels are not a part of the base. The telehandler remains upright as long as the center of gravity of the machinery, that is defined as the point in 3 dimensions around which the equipment's weight is balanced, stays oriented inside the stability triangle.



When a load is placed on the forks while the boom is down, the center of gravity down and forward. The load if lifted would move the center of gravity to the rear upwards. At the same time, when this occurs, the stability triangle shrinks. Hence, 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 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 perfectly level. Like for instance, imagine the center of gravity resembling a plumb bob hanging from the boom. You could 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 centerline of the machinery. The stability triangle is always aligned with the centerline of the machine.
