Fotklift 32+ Flashcards
What type of faults could you find when inspecting wheels and tyres?
air pressure
wear is uneven
tyres worn down
cuts, damage
What document need to be referred before securing an attachment
manufacturing instructions or specifications
List five different types of attachment that can fit forklift
Jib
rotating att.
blade att.
standing platform
fork extensions
Drum clamp
What effect will att. have on forklift?
the load capacity will be reduced the centre of gravity will be affected
less stable
what do you do when forklift loses control of brakes steering and failure of the hydraulic system
stop forklift
take out of service
tell an appropriate person
put in the logbook
don’t use it before it’s fixed
What are the things that may cause a forklift truck to tip over sideways (lateral)
too fast in curves
uneven load
uneven surface
turning abruptly
turning with a load that’s too high
What are the things that may cause a forklift truck to tip forward or backwards (longitudinal)
mast tilted too far forward
maximum capacity is exceeded
unbalanced load
how can a seatbelt help you (2)
when you crash
when forklift tips
what may happen if dou lift a load on only one tyne
affects stability
might tip over sideways
tyne can be damaged
tyne can get bent
What do you need when loading onto a truck from a loading dock
bridge plates
What may happen if you attempt to turn across a ramp or incline
you can tip over
load may slide off
When placing your load what should you make sure off
load stable and centred
capacity isn’t exceeded
against heel of the forklift arm
heaviest item on bottom
What should you do if you lose control of the forklift and it begins to tip sideways
stay inside the fork
brace yourself until fork is safe to exit
do not jump from forklift when it tips
List 3 places where you wouldn’t park the forklift
emergency exits
pedestrian walkways
first aid stations
fire stations
Why should you remove the keys from the forklift after you have finished using it?
so unauthorised persons can’t use it
Why do we need to charge batteries in a well ventilated area?
battery can explode
What should you do when travelling with load on a ramp
tynes should face uphill
Definition of Censequence and Likelihood
Consequence
How bad will it be if the hazard causes harm
Likelihood
What is the chance of the hazard causing harm
Name 4 ppe
head wear protection
foot wear protection
eye protection
high visibility clothing
why shouldn’t you lift loads about people
risk of injury if load falls down
Are you allowed to sit on a forklift with multiple persons?
Only if it has been designed to do so
weather focast can?
help for suitable risk controls
plan the work environment
schedule work activities
the centre of gravity can move outside the stability triangle if
load is picked up on the tips
load is tilted forward
too much weight
if the fork doesn’t have a data plate
Do not use machine
effectively isolate
tag out of service
report to appropriate person
fill in logbook
What are 3 fluid levels that need to be checked before using the fork
Engine oil
fuel
brake fluid
how to get in fork
3 points of contact
what are three items you would check on the fork operational
brakes
hydraulic
lights
steering
how to check weight of load
weigh load
calculate load
check paperwork
where should the heaviest part of the load appear
against load backrest
on the bottom
how to operate on slippery surface
reduce speed
proceed with caution
avoid sudden breaking
what height should the load be while moving it with fork
axle height
if load blocks your view you will need to
operate in reverse
usa a guide if required
repack the load if possible
!If refilling stock onto the ground or onto racking or shelves you need to make sure that! (3)
Loads are stacked on a flat surface
heavy goods placed at the bottom
that the stack doesn’t unstable because of height
Side shift attachments need to be centred before travelling with a load in order to?
maintain stability of the forklift and load
When parking forklift make sure
fork arms lowered and tips to ground
forklift to neutral
handbrake
turn off forklift
remove key
If the forklift loses control of brakes, steering and failure of the hydraulic system
stop forklift where possible
isolate
tag out of service
report to appropriate person
