Question

please select the best answer.
on a telehandler that is not equipped with stabilizers, which is not one of the three supporting points of the stability triangle?
the center point on the rear axle
the left front tire
the left rear tire
the right front tire

Explanation:

Identify the components of the stability triangle

For a telehandler or forklift with a three-point suspension system (where the rear axle pivots at its center), the three supporting points of the stability triangle are:

1. The left front tire (ground contact point)
2. The right front tire (ground contact point)
3. The center point of the rear axle (pivot point)

Determine the incorrect supporting point

The left rear tire and right rear tire are not individual supporting points of the stability triangle because the rear axle pivots at its center, making the center point of the axle the single rear vertex of the triangle. Therefore, "The left rear tire" is not one of the three supporting points.

Answer:

• (A) The center point on the rear axle
• (B) The left front tire
• (C) The left rear tire (Correct answer)
• (D) The right front tire
