Welcome to your Candidate Assessment

The bank of questions provided by the Accrediting Bodies Association for Workplace Transport (ABA) for the purposes of conducting the associated knowledge examination:

Are indicative of the types of questions to be used when compiling a question bank

Are a guide to the types of acceptable questions that can be used for the examination

Are the only permissible questions that can be used for the associated knowledge examination

None

The practical test of basic operating skills is designed to test a candidates efficiency. In addition to the rehearsed time it would not be expected, in normal operating conditions, for the practical element of the basic operating skills test to take more than:

30 minutes

45 minutes

60 minutes

None

The term ‘LOW LEVEL’, when related to the operation of lift trucks during the conduct of the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, refers to:

A height at or about ground level to a maximum of 300mm

Any stacking height above ground level to a minimum of 299mm

Any ground or low level racking positions

None

Whilst undergoing the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’, a candidate fails to look in the direction of travel. Is this considered to be a fault? If so, how many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?

A fault has been committed and an award of 1 penalty point must be incurred

A fault has been committed and an award of 5 penalty points must be incurred

No fault has been committed, therefore no penalty points will be awarded by the examiner

None

Why should the instructor walk the candidates through the test course for the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST before the test commences?

To make sure the examiner remembers the course layout

To make sure the candidate remembers the course layout

To give the candidate a brief explanation of each operation to be carried out

None

Whilst undergoing the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, a candidate allows the fork arms to rub on withdrawal from a pallet. How many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?

5 penalty points must be awarded

1 penalty points must be awarded

3 penalty points must be awarded

None

There is a good reason, when constructing a course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST for the lift truck operators, for ensuring that the distance separating the chicane from the first operation within the main aisle is determined with care. The reason for this is so that:

The candidate has sufficient distance to position the lift truck for the first stacking position

The examiner has sufficient opportunity to assess the candidate’s ability to steer the lift truck accurately

The candidate has sufficient distance to demonstrate the ability to drive the lift truck (forks trailing) on completion of a stacking exercise

None

Candidates for the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’ should be walked through the test course prior to the start of the test to familiarise them with its content. Instructions and directions given to the candidate at this time by the examiner should be

Repeated only if requested by the candidate

Memorised

Repeated stage by stage by the examiner as the test progresses

None

The set time allocated for the completion of the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST should be:

30 minutes

40 minutes

2x the rehearsed time of the examiner conducting the test

None

10.

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” the candidate fails one of the elements of the test: practical / theoretical / pre-use check. The candidate will require to:

Re-sit that particular element

Re-sit the whole test

Wait 3 months before re-sitting the test

None

11.

During the conduct of the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’, the candidate engages the fork arms into a laden pallet and lifts it clear of the floor, racking beams/shelf or stack. The examiner will award penalty points if the fork arms are off centre in the pallet more than:

40 mm (1.5 inches)

50 mm (2 inches)

75 mm (3 inches)

None

12.

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the candidate fails to dismount from the truck in the correct manner, how many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?

1 penalty point

3 penalty points

5 penalty points

None

13.

The pre-use inspection contains a number of MC components. The term MC means:

Major Component Check

Mandatory Component Check

Mandatory Check Completed

None

14.

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the candidate engages the wrong hydraulic control, how many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?

1 Penalty Points

3 Penalty Points

5 Penalty Points

None

15.

The ABA pre-use inspection contains how many MC elements?

None

16.

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’, the examiner will allow adjustments to the position of the lift truck during stacking or de-stacking operations. However, penalty points must be awarded if the candidate makes in excess of:

Three adjustments per operation

Two adjustments per operation

One adjustment per operation

None

17.

The associated knowledge examination must contain how many mandatory questions?

None

18.

When awarding 5 points for 'forks / load too high when travelling' the fork height needs to be:

less than 100mm above the height recommended for the truck in use

more than 100mm above the height recommended for the truck in use

at least 200mm above the height recommended for the truck in use

None

19.

When setting up the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST there should be a reasonable distance between the end of the chicane and the first stacking position:

To allow the examiner to mark the candidate’s ability to travel safely

To allow room for the positioning of the truck for the first stacking position

So that the examiner can see what is happening

None

20.

The minimum aisle width for a counterbalance truck should be calculated from the manufacturer’s theoretical minimum 90 degree (90°) stacking aisle width for the particular truck and its load, plus:

300 mm (12 inches)

150 mm (6 inches)

230mm (9 inches)

None

21.

The term ‘MEDIUM LEVEL’, when related to the operation of lift trucks during the conduct of the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, refers to:

Any stacking height between 299mm and 2999mm

Any stacking height between 301mm and 2999mm

Any stacking height between 300mm and 3000mm

None

22.

Upon completion of the test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST for lift truck operators the instructor should be required to:

Visually inspect the course and tidy it where necessary

Move 2 pallet loads

Re-construct the test course

None

23.

When constructing a test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST for lift truck operators and preparing a suitable vertical face. What should be taken into account when deciding how wide the vertical face should be?

The size and capacity of the Lift truck in use

The width of the load to be used on the test

The length of the fork arms and their protrusion ahead of the load being carried

None

24.

Candidates undertaking the practical test will be disqualified as a result of committing:

3 or more occurrences of a 5 point penalty in one area

More than 3 occurrences of any 5 point penalty

More than 3 occurrences of a 5 point penalty in one area

None

25.
