Fork Lift Operator Test Step 1

The truck is driven forwards into the chicane where the load shown in red is picked up.

After reversing to get position, the truck is again driven forwards through the chicane into the aisleway where the operator is required to make a right angle turn in a confined aisleway. The load is then stacked onto the high stack shown on the next page.

{Note that the high stack should be a minimum of 3300 mm, (around 10 feet). If this cannot be arranged, it is usual for a height restriction to be shown on any subsequent certificate issued}.

Please note. This test works on a penalty point system. There are three categories of fault as follows:

• Minor faults, (e.g. adjusting position etc), penalty = 1 point
• Medium faults, (e.g. gentle touches of the course etc), penalty = 3 points
• Serious faults, (e.g. reversing without looking), 5 points
