What is the recommended height to carry a load on a forklift when traveling?

• 4 to 6 inches off the ground

• 6 to 8 inches off the ground

• 8 to 10 inches off the ground

• 10 to 12 inches off the ground

Why is it important to carry a load on your forks at a certain height?

• To reduce fuel consumption

• To perform tricks

• To improve stability

• To increase speed

What happens to the center of gravity of a forklift when the load is raised higher?

• It disappears

• It remains the same

• It shifts backward and downwards

• It shifts forward and upwards

What is the purpose of carrying a forklift load 6 to 8 inches off the ground?

• To avoid obstacles and reduce collisions

• To test the load capacity

• To increase speed

• To hit obstacles

What should you do before lowering a load on a forklift?

• Drive fast towards the destination

• Tilt the mast forward

• Ensure the load is secured

• Increase the load height

How should you drive a loaded forklift on a ramp?

• Drive backward with the load pointing down the slope

• Drive forward with the load pointing up the slope

• Drive backward with the load pointing up the slope

• Drive forward with the load pointing down the slope

What is the recommended practice when approaching a load with a forklift?

• Approach too slowly

• Approach too fast

• Approach carefully and stop 8 to 12 inches in front of the load

• Approach without looking

Why should you tilt the mast back when picking up a load on a forklift?

• To make the load fall off

• To stabilize the load

• To increase the load capacity

• To make the load heavier

What is the purpose of using a load backrest on a forklift?

• To reduce the load capacity

• To make the forklift look better

• To prevent the load from falling on the operator

• To increase visibility

How should you drive an unloaded forklift on a ramp?

• Drive forward with the forks pointing up the slope

• Drive backward with the forks pointing up the slope

• Drive backward with the forks pointing down the slope

• Drive forward with the forks pointing down the slope
