Question

please select the best answer. true or false:

in certain cases, the potential for a sideways tip-over is greater when the telehandler is traveling without a load.

true
false

Explanation:

Analyze center of gravity and stability

An unloaded telehandler has its center of gravity located further to the rear, closer to the narrowest part of the stability triangle. When traveling without a load, especially on slopes, rough terrain, or during sharp turns, this rearward shift in the center of gravity increases the risk of a lateral (sideways) tip-over compared to when it is carrying a low, stable load which helps center the weight.

Determine the truth value

Because the risk of a sideways tip-over can indeed be greater when traveling unloaded under certain conditions, the statement is true.

Answer:

• True (Correct answer)
• False
