Practical test for fork lift truck operators (2)
The load is now stacked onto the high position and the truck is reversed back towards the chicane. Note that the truck does NOT enter the chicane at this stage.
The next step is to de-stack the load at driver's eye level which is shown in blue here.
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
