Before operating a forklift, which pre-operational check must you complete first?
Answer: Review the logbook for previous faults
Reviewing the logbook for previously recorded faults is the first step so you are aware of any outstanding issues before conducting your own physical checks.
What does the rated capacity of a forklift refer to?
Answer: The maximum weight the forklift can carry at the manufacturer's specified load centre
Rated capacity is the maximum load a forklift can safely carry at the manufacturer's specified load centre distance, typically 500 mm from the face of the forks.
A forklift has a rated capacity of 2,000 kg at a 500 mm load centre. If the load centre increases to 750 mm, what happens to the safe carrying capacity?
Answer: It decreases
As the load centre increases beyond the rated distance, the safe carrying capacity decreases due to the increased moment (torque) acting on the forklift.
Which of the following forms the forklift's stability triangle?
Answer: The two front wheels and the rear axle pivot point
The stability triangle is formed by the two front drive wheels and the single pivot point at the centre of the rear axle, creating a triangular base of support.
Under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act, what duty does a forklift operator have regarding hazards in the workplace?
Answer: Take reasonable care to identify hazards and report them to the person conducting the business or undertaking (PCBU)
Under the WHS Act, workers have a duty to take reasonable care for their own and others' health and safety, which includes identifying and reporting hazards to the PCBU.
What is the correct travelling position for the forks when moving a loaded forklift on level ground?
Answer: Raised 300–500 mm above ground with mast tilted back
Forks should be raised 300–500 mm (approximately 15–20 cm) off the ground with the mast tilted back to lower the centre of gravity and improve stability during travel.
When must a forklift operator record an entry in the logbook?
Answer: At the start and end of each shift, including any faults or damage found
Logbook entries must be made at the start and end of each shift, recording pre-operational check results and any faults, damage, or incidents that occurred during operation.
