The heels not more than 100-150mm high with the fork arms level

The heels as low as possible with the tips touching the floor

The heels touching the ground with the tips within 100mm of the ground

4. When tilting a load forward at height, why is there an increased risk of the truck tipping?

The lateral forces placed over the rear axle will increase

The load centre will increase

The combined centre of gravity moves forward

A small amount of tilt at height does not affect stability

5. What is meant by the term “load centre” as it applies to lift trucks?

The width that the fork arms should be set on the carriage plate

The length of the truck and the load

The measurement to the middle of the load

Is is the measurement given forward from the front face of the fork arms to the center of gravity of the load

6. When an unladen truck is being driven on a gradient the fork arms/attachment should face downhill. This is to improve?

Stability, traction and adhesion

Visibility and steering

Speed and reduce tyre wear

Time keeping

7. Health and Safety legislation places the responsibility for safety at work on?

The employers

The employees

Everyone on the premises

Lift truck operators only

8. When following another lift truck down an aisle, how many truck lengths clearance is it recommended to leave?

9. What is the meaning of "free lift" in connection with lift trucks?

The distance the forks can be raised before the mast begins to extend

The tolerance allowed for the fork clearance whilst entering the pallet

Passengers may be carried on the truck to assist the operator

Spaced to take an equal weight on each fork arm as with pallets

Fairly narrow to allow for easy entry/withdrawal and to keep the weight on the fork arms

As close as possible

14. What position should a lift truck's mast be in to comply with the manufacturer's stated lifting capacity?

Slightly tilted backwards with the truck on level ground

It doesn't matter as the mast angle does not affect the rated capacity

Slightly tilted forwards with the truck on level ground

Vertical with the truck on level ground

15. The lift truck's "rated capacity" applies with the mast in the?

Vertical position

Tilted back position

Tilted forward position

Reach carriage extended position

16. Before starting to load a rigid flatbed lorry or trailer from ground level the lift truck operator must check that?

The lorry driver has checked the load

The lorry’s tyre pressures are correct for the weight of the load

The lorry driver is aware that loading is to take place, the engine is off, the lorry parking brake is applied and the wheels chocked if necessary

The destination of the lorry

17. The brakes on the truck you are operating seem to be faulty. What are you going to do?

Inform the supervisor

The instructor who carried out the training

The employer

The lift truck supplier

The lift truck manufacturer

19. In normal circumstances, if the load on the forks obscures your view, you should?

Dismount, check that the way is clear, then drive slowly forward sounding the horn

Travel in reverse, looking in the direction of travel

Ask your supervisor to guide you with hand signals

Conduct an all-round check and proceed forwards very slowly with your head just outside the safety cage

20. What is the recommended way to approach a stack to place or retrieve a load?

Drive slowly forward: raise the fork arms to the required height: stop : apply the parking break

top not more than 150mm from the stack: apply the parking break: select neutral: adjust tilt and raise the fork arms

Stop at least a metre from the stack: raise the fork arms to the required height: drive slowly forward

Stop 150mm from the stack, apply parking brake and select neutral and with full back tilt enter the pallet
