What capability does the center fork control lever on a 12k rough terrain forklift provide?

• A. Tilt forward, tilt backward
• B. Raise forks
• C. Side shift
• D. Lock the differential

Answer: (A)

The center fork control lever moves the mast tilt, giving you the ability to tilt the forks forward or backward. This tilt is used to position and secure the load: tilting backward helps lift the load and keep it close to the carriage for stability, while tilting forward allows the forks to slide under a pallet and then set the load down flush. The other functions—raising the forks, side shifting, and locking the differential—are controlled by different levers or controls, not this center lever. So the capability described by the center lever is tilting the forks forward or backward.
