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. 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 cage2. 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 truck3. 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 possible4. 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 lengths5. 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 department6. 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 pallet7. 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 insurer8. 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 manufacturer9. 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 lowered10. 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 stability11. 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 load12. 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 stability13. When driving an unladen lift truck, how should the forks be set? With full back tilt As low as practicable and tilted forward to prevent damage As low as practicable and tilted back As low as possible and parallel to the ground14. 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 keeping15. 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 fault16. 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 it17. 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 - move18. 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 sharply19. What is the minimum separation distance you leave when following another lift truck down an aisle? One truck length Two tuck lengths Three truck lengths20. The lift truck's "rated capacity" applies with the mast in the? Vertical position Tilted back position Tilted forward position Reach carriage extended position MrWolfman
