Q1What does the rated capacity on a forklift data plate refer to?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: The maximum load the forklift can carry under specified conditions
The rated capacity is the maximum load the forklift can safely lift as specified on the data plate under defined conditions (load centre, lift height).
Q2A forklift data plate shows a capacity of 2,000 kg at a 500 mm load centre. If the actual load centre is 600 mm, what happens to the safe working capacity?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: It decreases
Moving the load centre further from the mast reduces the effective capacity because the leverage on the forklift increases.
Q3Where must the data plate be located on a forklift?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: In a clearly visible position on the forklift
Regulations require the data plate to be affixed in a clearly visible position so the operator can check it before every lift.
Q4What is the load centre distance on a standard forklift?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: The horizontal distance from the fork face to the centre of gravity of the load
Load centre is measured horizontally from the vertical face of the forks to the assumed centre of gravity of the load.
Q5You need to lift a load that exceeds the forklift's rated capacity. What should you do?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Do not attempt the lift; use a higher-capacity forklift or other lifting equipment
Lifting above rated capacity risks tipping the forklift and must never be attempted.
Q6Which factor does NOT directly affect the safe working load of a forklift?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Tyre pressure on the rear wheels
Tyre pressure affects ride comfort and traction but is not listed on the data plate as a variable that changes rated capacity.
Q7When an attachment such as a side-shifter is fitted to a forklift, what must the operator check?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: The revised data plate showing the de-rated capacity with the attachment
Any attachment adds weight and changes the load centre, so a revised data plate must be consulted.
Q8A load is unevenly distributed so its centre of gravity is well to one side. What is the correct action?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Reposition or re-sling the load to bring the centre of gravity closer to the fork centre
An off-centre load can cause lateral tip-over. Repositioning the load before lifting is the correct action.
Q9The forklift data plate has been removed or is illegible. What must the operator do?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Take the forklift out of service until the data plate is replaced
Without a legible data plate the operator cannot determine the safe working load; the machine must be tagged out until the plate is replaced.
Q10What does 'de-rated capacity' mean in the context of forklift attachments?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: The reduced safe load limit when a non-standard attachment is fitted
Attachments add weight and shift the load centre, so manufacturers issue a de-rated capacity to reflect the new, lower safe limit.
