What could happen if the skip is not lowered fully before driving away?

When the skip of a forward tipping dumper is not fully lowered before driving away, the risk of tipping over sideways on uneven ground increases significantly. The dumper's center of gravity is affected by the skip's position. If the skip is partially raised, it can create an imbalance, particularly when navigating uneven or sloped terrain. This instability may lead to the dumper tipping over, posing a serious safety hazard for the operator and nearby workers. Ensuring that the skip is fully lowered before moving is a crucial part of safe operational practices, helping to maintain stability and control of the dumper.
