Safer Together; Operating mobile plant

A telehandler was transporting a 6-inch transfer pump between two lease locations along the nominated route.

The telehandler operator approached a section of road layered with bogmatting to allow better traction and proceeded to travel along it. 

After exiting off the far end of the bog matting, the telehandler began to pull to the left and slip into the Right Of Way (ROW) and become bogged. The Right of Way contained buried gas, water and electrical services. The operator immediately isolated the telehandler and reported the incident.
