Which of the following items would be considered collateral equipment?

• A. Hoses for pumps (component)
• B. LO-123 Form
• C. ADMIN Manual
• D. Maintenance Schedule

Answer: (A)

Collateral equipment refers to non-core items that accompany a piece of equipment and enable its operation or expanded capability. Hoses for pumps are considered collateral equipment because they are external accessories used with pumping operations and stored with the unit to support its use. They are not part of the forklift’s built-in components, but they are physical attachments that accompany the system when needed. The LO-123 form, ADMIN manual, and maintenance schedule, by contrast, are administrative or documentation items and do not constitute physical collateral equipment.
