Question
how should you drive an unloaded lift truck on a ramp?
with the forks toward the downhill end of the ramp.
with the forks toward the uphill end of the ramp.
an unloaded lift truck should not be driven on a ramp.
with the forks raised 24\ from the surface of the ramp.
When driving an unloaded lift truck on a ramp, it is important to ensure stability. Having the forks toward the downhill end helps in maintaining balance. If the forks were toward the uphill end, the center of gravity could be shifted in a way that makes the truck more prone to tipping backward. Lifting the forks 24" is not the standard practice for driving on a ramp. And an unloaded lift truck can be driven on a ramp as long as proper precautions (like having forks toward downhill) are taken.
