Practical test for fork lift truck operators (5)
The load is removed from the high stack and the truck is reversed all the way through the chicane to the start point.
{This additional run through the chicane was introduced in 2000)
Now the truck is driven forwards once more as indicated in the next step.
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
