Candidate

When conducting the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST it is necessary to ensure the candidate turns with fork arms trailing toward the chicane following stacking/de stacking operations in order:

During the conduct of the practical skills test, faults should be recorded on the practical test marking sheet:

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST”, the examiner will award penalty points if during mounting and dismounting the lift truck, the candidate fails to:

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:

The associated knowledge examination must contain how many mandatory questions?

Having already levelled and raised the forks during the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST the candidate finds it necessary to adjust the height again to ensure a clean entry. How many penalty points should be awarded?

When constructing a test course for the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” for lift truck operators, the examiner must ensure that the loads used in the test are:

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

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

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 standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’ should be concluded with:

A candidate should complete the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST in:

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:

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:

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

When constructing free standing stacks for the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, how much space should there be between adjacent stacks?

When constructing a test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the width of the main aisle for COUNTERBALANCE and REACH TRUCKS should be calculated from the manufacturer’s theoretical minimum 90 degree (90°) stacking aisle width for the particular truck and its load, plus:

Following completion of the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST and before conducting another test, the examiner will:

When constructing a test course for the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” for lift truck operators, the examiner must ensure that it complies with the ABA Standard. The width of the CHICANE at the critical points of each turn must allow a clearance (pivot point, truck & load extremities) of:

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:

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

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:

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” the candidate fails to straighten the wheels before a stacking/destacking operation. When are points awarded for each such fault?

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

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?
