Question 2

What does a forklift's data plate (capacity plate) show?

Accepted Answer

The rated load capacity at specified load centres and lift heights

The data plate shows the forklift's rated load capacity at various load centre distances and lift heights, along with the model, serial number, and unladen weight.

Question 3

Which hazard is MOST likely to cause a forklift to tip sideways?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

A fuel leak is a serious fire and explosion hazard. The forklift must be tagged out of service and the fault reported immediately to a supervisor or maintenance personnel.

Question 5

What is the primary purpose of the counterweight on a forklift?

Accepted Answer

To balance the weight of a load on the forks and prevent forward tip-over

Answer

The counterweight is positioned at the rear of the forklift to counterbalance the weight of a load on the forks, preventing the forklift from tipping forward.
