Which of the following affect forklift safety

When a lift truck is not in use, what should be done with the forks

Lower to the ground, engine off, neutralize the controls

Using a short turning radius when traveling at high speeds can cause overturning due to what

The forces of momentum

The load will have maximum stability if what

The fork tips are tilted slightly backward

A forklift ability to lift a load within its limits safely is reduced if

The front end Is sloping down, the load is too far in front of the front axle, or the lift mechanism is not vertical

Who is responsible for checking the security of a trailer before loading or unloading

The operator

Workers and bystanders within danger area of the forklift should be considered a responsibility of

They should be adjusted before the load is lifted

As a loaded forklift is raised which of the following dangers increase

Tipping, loss of steering, the effects of momentum

How high should a load be carried on a smooth surface

Momentum is forced created by

Starting, stopping and turning

What actions determine how fast a hydraulic system moves

The Distance the controls are moved and the speed of the engine

Is it possible to have a forklift turn over backwards

Yes by backing down a steep grade and carrying the load to high could make the machine over turned backwards if a sudden stop is needed

Jerky movements can be avoided if the operator

Feathers the controls
