1. How much back tilt is required when transporting a palletised load?

Sufficient back tilt to cater for the type of load and ground conditions

Full tilt to keep the load against the vertical face of the forks

Back tilt off the vertical to prevent the load from slipping forward

The forks should be level to deposit a load

Loaded and driven slowly around corners

Loaded and driven quickly in a straight line

When braking hard

Unladen and turning sharply

One truck length

Two tuck lengths

Three truck lengths

4. Why do you stop the truck no more than 150mm from the stack before raising the fork arms?

To save too many movements of the truck when manoeuvring

To save using the parking brake too many times

To allow pedestrians to pass through the gap at the rear of the truck

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

Vertical position

Tilted back position

Tilted forward position

Reach carriage extended position

6. While operating a lift truck what would you do if you saw some rubbish/dunnage lying in a gangway or warehouse location?

Inform the supervisor

Park the truck in a safe place and remove the obstruction

Inform the other truck operators and get it moved at break time

Ignore it as the next shift have cleaners that will remove it

7. Undercutting is used when?

The operator cannot see the pallet slots so places the forks under the pallet

The forks are longer than the pallet and the pallet is adjacent to a wall or another pallet, or the pallet cannot be heeled up immediately

The forks are shorter than the pallet and it has to be carried carefully

Loading lorries

8. 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

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

Because the hydraulics do no use power when being lowered

10. Whose responsibility is it to ensure the safety of pedestrians while operating a lift truck? (mandatory this question must be correctly answered)

The lift truck operator

Management

The pedestrians themselves

The human resources department

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

The employers

The employees

Everyone on the premises

Lift truck operators only

12. When preparing to move off, the safest procedure is as follows?

Transmission engaged - look over both shoulders - park brake off - move

Look over shoulders - transmission engaged - parking brake off - move

Parking brake off - look over both shoulders - engage transmission and move off

Parking brake off - transmission engaged - look over both shoulders - move

13. When sounding the lift truck's horn at a blind corner you should?

Make several short sharp blasts

Give one long blast to attract attention

Give one short toot to save discharging the battery

Give several long blasts

14. Who is responsible for checking that the lift truck is in good working order before use? (mandatory this question must be correctly answered)

The management

The maintenance department

The operator

The insurer

15. 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

16. Prior to operating a lift truck in the working environment, the operator must have "written authorization" issued by?

The instructor who carried out the training

The employer

The lift truck supplier

The lift truck manufacturer

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

One length

Two lengths

Three lengths

Four lengths

18. When driving a laden truck up an incline the forks should be?

Trailing

Leading

Tilted forward

Reach carriage extended

19. How must the fork arms be positioned when handling a metal stillage?

As wide as possible to prevent the load slipping sideways

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

20. 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

Time is Up!
