TELEHANDLER AND METHOD

A telehandler (1) comprising: a chassis(10); an axle (20) supporting the chassis(10); a pivotal connection (30) between the axle (20) and the chassis (30); and a chassis positioning system. The pivotal connection (30) is configured to enable rotation of the chassis relative to the axle for varying a chassis-axle tilt angle defined between a longitudinal axis of the axle (20) and the chassis (10). The chassis positioning system comprises: a chassis angle sensor (12) configured to measure an angular position of the chassis relative to gravity; an actuator (13) configured to rotate the chassis (10) relative to the axle (20) at the pivotal connection (30); and a control system configured, in a first mode, to control the actuator (13) to thereby control the chassis-axle tilt angle based on the measured angular position (θ) of the chassis.
