What Safety Features Should You Look for in a Telehandler?

1. Load Stability Systems: The Foundation of Safe Operation

Modern telehandlers must incorporate sophisticated load stability mechanisms to prevent dangerous tipping scenarios. The most advanced systems combine multiple technologies:

• Automatic Load Moment Indicators (LMI): Continuously calculates load weight and boom angle to prevent exceeding safe operating parameters
• Dynamic Stability Control: Adjusts hydraulic pressure and movement speed based on real-time load distribution
• Outrigger Monitoring: Sensors verify proper deployment before allowing full load capacity operation

These systems work in concert to maintain center of gravity - particularly crucial when handling irregularly shaped materials or operating on uneven terrain. Our ELITE series telehandlers feature triple-redundant stability verification with visual and audible warnings when approaching threshold limits.

2. Operator Visibility Enhancements for 360° Awareness

Blind spots account for nearly 30% of telehandler-related incidents according to OSHA reports. Cutting-edge visibility solutions include:

• Panoramic Glass Cabins: 270° visibility with anti-glare and anti-fog treatments
• Boom-Mounted Cameras: Provide real-time views of load attachment points
• Radar/Object Detection: Alerts operators to personnel or obstacles in blind zones

The EVERMORE 565Z exemplifies this approach with its wide field of vision design, allowing operators to clearly observe both working devices and surrounding environments through strategically placed rearview mirrors on the boom structure.

2.1 Ergonomic Control Systems

Intuitive control interfaces significantly reduce operator fatigue and error rates. The most effective designs feature:

• Dual-handle configurations separating travel and lift functions
• Adjustable sensitivity settings for precision movements
• Tactile feedback mechanisms for load status communication

These ergonomic considerations become particularly valuable during extended shifts or when handling delicate positioning tasks.

3. Emergency Response Capabilities

When critical situations arise, telehandlers must provide multiple fail-safe mechanisms:

These systems complement the standard emergency stop button that should be accessible from both the cab and ground-level access points.

4. Structural Integrity and Component Quality

The foundation of any safe telehandler begins with its core construction:

• Frame Design: High-tensile steel with reinforced stress points
• Hydraulic Systems: Leak-proof connections with pressure relief valves
• Power Units: Reliable engines with torque-matched performance

For example, the EVERMORE 565Z utilizes PERKINS/KUBOTA power systems delivering 55kw rated power with optimized fuel efficiency - a combination that ensures consistent performance without compromising safety margins.

5. Maintenance Accessibility for Sustained Safety

Easy maintenance access directly impacts long-term equipment safety through:

• Centralized service points reducing inspection time
• Modular component design for quick replacement
• Diagnostic ports for computerized system checks

Proper maintenance protocols can extend equipment lifespan by 40% while maintaining original safety specifications, according to industry maintenance studies.
