What enhances a telehandler's operational capabilities on rough terrains?

The four-wheel drive system significantly enhances a telehandler's operational capabilities on rough terrains by improving traction and stability. In challenging environments, such as uneven ground, mud, or steep slopes, having all four wheels powered allows the telehandler to distribute its weight more effectively and maintain better grip. This is crucial for navigating difficult surfaces without getting stuck or losing control.

Additionally, a four-wheel drive system can facilitate more agile maneuvering, enabling the telehandler to climb slopes and traverse obstacles that would be difficult for a two-wheel drive system. This capability is particularly important when working on construction sites or agricultural fields where the ground conditions may vary widely.

While improved engine power, extended boom reach, and increased cargo capacity are valuable features, they do not directly address the challenges posed by rough terrain in the same way that a four-wheel drive system does.
