4.12 Lifting devices
4.12.1 Fork extensions
The standard fork can be extended, allowing you to transport bulkier
items. When the fork extension is fitted, a check is made that it is suita
-
ble for fitting to a standard truck fork (see the details on the identifica-
tion 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
permitted 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.
4.12.2 Telescopic forks
KOOI forks, manufactured by the Meijer Special Equipment Company
in the Netherlands are a specially designed fork with a thickness of 56
mm. This flatter fork can be used for load carriers with lower tunnel
heights. The telescopic forks are fitted in the same way as normal forks
and can be moved in their holders in the same way. All forks have an
identification plate on their upper surface. The plates provide important
information on the fork’s technical data, e.g. the maximum load capaci
-
ty of the fork.
The telescopic forks are operated using a closed, self-lubricating oil cir-
cuit. These forks come supplied with oil that meets an ISO 4406 clean-
liness standard code of 17/12.
The telescopic forks must be tested every year in line with ISO 5057
requirements (see the Maintenance section). The international stand
-
ard must be applied when checking the forks, with the exception of
those sections that refer to “fork blades and shafts”, as the inner fork
must not be subjected to wear.
