Load capacity, load center, and safe lifting height - Should be available on the forklift data plate
False - an LP gas leak is dangerous because fumes will collect near the ceiling where it is difficult to
disperse them
The distance in inches from the center of the front wheels to the face of the forks - The Inch Pound
Equation is (A+B) x C. In this equation what does A represent
The truck's capacity at the rated load center in pounds - In the Inch Pound Equation (A+B) x C what does
C represent
battery capacity gauge - Instead of a fuel gauge, electric powered lift trucks have this kind of gauge
raise and lower control lever pushed forward - which action will be used to lower the fork lift load
near the FLOOR - An LP gas leak is dangerous because fumes will collect
Increase - Tilting the fork back will ______________the stability of the lift truck carrying the load
Fork lift data plate - most immediate source of information for the forklift lifting capacity and load
center distance
the center of the front axle - is NOT one of the corner points of the forklift stability triangle
true - you should always calculate the total weight of a lift truck as well as the load before entering an
elevator with the lift truck
, False - When fueling a lift truck, make sure that the spout does NOT contact the fill pipe while pumping
fuel
True - forklifts with solid tires should NOT be used outdoors
The load center of gravity is very close to the front wheels - the following operating condition is most
desirable
cross it carefully at an angle, one wheel at a time - if you must cross a railroad track with a forklift you
should
flat on the floor - when parking a forklift set the forks
smaller turning arc - the advantage of rear wheel steering as used on most fork lifts
the weight of the load is equal to the weight of the forklift with the 2 centers of gravity equal distances
from the front wheels - the following condition might cause a forklift to "SEESAW" on it's front wheels
Travel in REVERSE, UP and INCLINE
Travel FORWARD, DOWN and INCLINE - if you are driving an empty lift truck
Hydrogen gas, battery acid, electrical arcing, and heat produced by batteries - the following are hazards
which should be considered when recharging electric lift trucks
If a forklift starts to tip over - keep hands and feet inside the cage and stay firmly in the forklift seat
drive in reverse - if the load you are carrying blocks your view
pneumatic tires - the type of forklift tires designed for use outdoors on improved and some unimproved
surfaces
