Explanation:

Analyze forklift seatbelts

Modern forklifts are equipped with operator restraint systems, including seatbelts, to prevent the operator from being thrown out during a tip-over. Therefore, the statement "Forklifts do not have seatbelts" is generally false regarding safety standards.

Analyze turning radius

Forklifts are designed to operate in tight warehouse aisles. They have rear-wheel steering, which allows them to pivot sharply and gives them a much tighter turning radius than standard automobiles. This statement is correct.

Analyze vehicle weight

Forklifts require heavy counterweights (usually made of solid cast iron) at the rear to balance the heavy loads lifted at the front. Because of this counterweight, a forklift is much heavier than a standard automobile of similar size. This statement is correct.

Analyze steering mechanism

Unlike standard automobiles, which steer using their front wheels, forklifts steer using their rear wheels to allow for a tight turning radius. Therefore, the statement "Forklifts steer with the front wheels" is incorrect.

Apply safety concepts

Using the Vehicle Maintenance Safety knowledge point, we evaluate how mechanical differences affect safe operation. Rear-wheel steering and heavy counterweights significantly alter the vehicle's center of gravity and handling compared to standard cars.

Answer:

• Forklifts do not have seatbelts
• Forklifts have a tighter turning radius (Correct answer)
• Forklifts are much heavier (Correct answer)
• Forklifts steer with the front wheels
