15.7 Fork extensions with adjustable
fork length
A standard fork can be extended with adjustable fork extensions. In this
way you can carry bulkier items. When the fork extension is fitted, a
check is made that it is suitable for fitting to a standard truck fork (see
the details on the identification plate).
Only use in pairs when the specified fork dimensions match, and the
length of the truck fork is greater than or equal to the minimum permit
-
ted truck fork length.
IMPORTANT!
Please note that load capacity is reduced once the fork extensions
are attached.
IMPORTANT!
The fork extension must not be used if the mounting is unsafe or if it
is damaged, dirty or icy. The chamfered underside must face down
-
wards. Daily visual inspection is recommended.
• The fork extension must be regularly maintained, and inspected
once a year.
• If at any point the plate thickness of the fork extension is less than 3
mm, the fork extension must be replaced immediately.
• If the fork extension shows signs of distortion, cracks or other dam-
age, it must immediately be taken out of service.
• A crack indication check must be performed using the dye penetra-
tion method.
• Check the function and safety of the locking pin.
To fit the forks, use the following locking pin:
Check that the fork extension is firmly attached; pull on the fork exten-
sion to check it is secure.
