Gen3 - User - Telehandler Stability and EQSS Onscreen Stability Triangle

The stability window displays the current stability status of the telehandler.


The image above shows the left stabilizer down.

Longitudinal Angle – The longitudinal angle shows the current longitudinal angle of the carrier. The arrow indicates the direction of the angle with a down arrow indicating a backward tilt (eg travelling up a hill) and a up arrow indicating a forward tilt (eg, travelling down a hill). The angle is in 0.1 degree increments unless the angle is greater 10 degrees then it is displayed in 1 degree increments.

Lateral Angle – The lateral angle shows the current lateral angle of the carrier. The arrow indicates the direction of the angle with a left arrow indicating a left side tilt and a right arrow indicating a right side tilt. The angle is in 0.1 degree increments unless the angle is greater than 10 degrees then it is displayed in 1 degree increments.

Stabilizers – The stability window shows an overhead view of a telehandler. When a stabilizer is raised/lowered, the telehandler image is updated to show the new stabilizer status. 

Stability Triangle – The stability triangle shows the current centre of mass of the telehandler taking into account the lifted load and the carrier angle. The centre of mass location is indicated by the crosshair. The centre of mass is overlay over a triangle, which is drawn between the front tyres and the centre of the rear axle. If the centre of mass moves outside of the triangle there is a danger of tipping over the telehandler. When both stabilisers are lowered the stability triangle is redrawn between the stabilisers and rear axle.

The image below shows both stabilizers down. This increases the size of the triangle and therefore increases the overall telehandler stability.
 

Moving outside the stability triangle will only alarm but will not produce a cutout. It is up to the operator to determine the required corrective action.
