Pick Up, Move and a Stack Pallet

This task requires you to simulate picking up, moving and stacking a pallet.

This check is to ensure that you are familiar with the procedures required to pickup a pallet and move it to a rack where it will be stored.

We have included an up ramp and a down ramp to make the task more challenging.

All movements are controlled via the simulated forklift control panel.

Instructions

• Print a copy of these instructions by selecting the print button.
  

• Use the forklift control panel to simulate the steps required to pickup, move and stack the pallet.
  
  
• Active components of the control panel are:
  
  
  • start button
  • lift/lower lever
  • forward/back tilt lever
  • handbrake
  • throttle (move pedal)
  • steering wheel.
