Practical test for fork lift operators
step three
The truck is now driven forwards and the load at driver's eye level, shown in blue, is removed.
The truck is again reversed towards the chicane but not through it.
Please note. This test works on a penalty point system. There are three categories of fault as follows:
- Minor faults, 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
Scoring more than 40 penalty points results in failure of the practical test
