20 Oct Mock Theory Test Welcome to your Mock Theory TestThe test will consist of 20 multiple choice questionsYou must get 80% correct to pass(Please note your real theory test with the instructor will be 20 questions and 5 open questions) Your Name Your Company Name (if applicable) Your Mobile Phone Number 1. The brakes on the truck you are operating seem to be faulty. What are you going to do? Inform the supervisor Stop immediately and seek assistance Drive slower and get the fault checked at the next break time As long as the parking brake works it will be OK to finish the job and then report the fault2. The lift truck's "rated capacity" applies with the mast in the? Vertical position Tilted back position Tilted forward position Reach carriage extended position3. Why do you stop the truck no more than 150mm from the stack before raising the fork arms? To assist with accuracy and discourage people walking between the fork arms and the stack 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 truck4. Before moving off with a lift truck what is the last thing the operator must do before moving off? (mandatory this question must be correctly answered) Put your seat belt on Engage drive Look around Sound horn5. When travelling on slopes where should the load be carried on the forkarms? With the load facing uphill and tilted forwards With the load facing downhill and tilted forward With the load facing uphill and tilted back With the load facing uphill with the reach carriage extended to increase stability6. 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 stability7. 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 manufacturer8. The truck's maximum carrying capacity will be reduced when? (mandatory this question must be correctly answered) The load center is increased The load center is decreased The load obscures your view When travelling in reverse9. 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 keeping10. 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 cage11. 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 - move12. Lift trucks are more likely to turn over sideways when they are? (mandatory this question must be correctly answered) Loaded and driven slowly around corners Loaded and driven quickly in a straight line When braking hard Unladen and turning sharply13. 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 load14. 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 lorries15. The safe use of the hydraulic controls requires the following? Parking brake applied Parking brake applied and transmission in neutral Clutch disengaged and foot brake applied A fully charged battery16. 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 lengths17. 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 ground18. 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 pallet19. Health and Safety legislation places the responsibility for safety at work on? The employers The employees Everyone on the premises Lift truck operators only20. In winter months loads stacked outside may be covered in ice and snow, the effect of this will? Increase the carrying capacity of the truck Make no change to the truck or weight of the load Increase the weight of the load Increase the friction between the pallet and the forks MrWolfman
