Travelling with the heavy end (load or counterweight) facing uphill (Correct answer)
Raising the forks to clear any surface irregularities on the slope
Increasing travel speed to reduce the time spent on the slope

Correct answer: Travelling with the heavy end (load or counterweight) facing uphill

Travelling with the heavy end facing uphill keeps the combined centre of gravity toward the uphill side of the stability triangle, reducing the risk of the forklift tipping forward or backward on the slope.

Turning at speed on a sloped or uneven surface with an elevated load (Correct answer)
Travelling on a smooth, level concrete floor
Lowering an empty pallet to floor level
Operating in a temperature-controlled warehouse

Correct answer: Turning at speed on a sloped or uneven surface with an elevated load

Turning at speed on a slope or uneven surface while carrying an elevated load shifts the centre of gravity outside the stability triangle, creating a high risk of lateral tip-over.
