abstract="Stability problems arise with all types of machinery which travel on sloping land. Overturning accidents cost time and money as well as causing injury and sometimes death. A full understanding of stability on slopes is needed in order to establish safe operating limits which can be accepted throughout the land-based industries.Considerable research has been carried out worldwide into the behaviour of machinery on slopes, particularly related to agriculture and forestry. Analytical models for predicting static stability and comparing the stability of different types of machine are now well developed. Stability measurement in the field has been fully researched and is being standardised, while a number of models for predicting dynamic stability have also been developed. The purpose of this paper is to review the research which has been carried out, to describe its present state of development, and to define the direction of future needs.<p />",
