What should be done if the dumper starts to tip?

If the dumper starts to tip, the most appropriate reaction is to immediately lower the load and stop the machine. This action is crucial because lowering the load reduces the center of gravity, which can help stabilize the dumper and prevent further tipping. Stopping the machine also halts any further movement that could exacerbate the tipping situation, making it easier to assess and address the problem safely.

Maintaining control of the load is essential, and lowering it to the ground minimizes the risk of losing the load and enhances the operator's safety. This proactive approach prioritizes both the safety of the operator and the integrity of the dumper.

In contrast, quickly accelerating could lead to a loss of control, while steering into the direction of the tip may not effectively counteract the tipping and could potentially worsen the situation. Continuing to drive, even at a reduced speed, would not address the tipping immediately and could create further hazards. Therefore, the safest and most effective response to a tipping dumper is to lower the load and stop the machine.
