Evaluate forklift operating procedures

• Tilting forks slightly forward is done to align the forks parallel to the ground or the pallet opening, making it easier to slide them directly under the load.
• During travel, lifting, lowering, or backing up, the forks should be tilted backward to stabilize and secure the load.
• Therefore, option A is the correct choice.

Answer:

• (A) When getting ready to slide the forks under a load (Correct answer)
• (B) When getting ready to travel with a load
• (C) When lifting or lowering the forks
• (D) When backing up with a load on the forks
