What is the minimum separation distance you leave when following another lift truck down an aisle? One truck length Two tuck lengths Three truck lengths2. 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 blasts3. 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 forks4. 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 load5. 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. Health and Safety legislation places the responsibility for safety at work on? The employers The employees Everyone on the premises Lift truck operators only7. 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 stability8. When parking a lift truck how should the fork arms be positioned? The tips not more than 100-150mm high with the heels touching the floor 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 ground9. 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 sharply10. 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 stability11. 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 ground12. When driving a laden truck up an incline the forks should be? Trailing Leading Tilted forward Reach carriage extended13. 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 truck14. 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 ground15. The lift truck's "rated capacity" applies with the mast in the? Vertical position Tilted back position Tilted forward position Reach carriage extended position16. An approved Code of Practice is? A requirement by law with which everyone must comply Advice to duty holders on how to comply with legislation A registration scheme for the licensing of lift truck operators17. 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. 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 insurer19. 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 lorry20. 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 battery MrWolfman
