15.4 Lifting devices (7400)
15.4.1 Forks
General
Inspections and inspection intervals refer to ISO standard 5057.
Inspection
The forks must be carefully inspected by trained personnel. The aim of
an inspection is to discover any damage, malfunctions, deformation or
similar that may impair safety. A fork with such defects must be taken
out of service and must not be used until it has been repaired in a satis
-
factory manner and, where necessary, tested as per "15.4.2 Forks,
repairs and testing".
Inspection intervals
Forks in operation must be inspected at intervals of no more than
twelve months and whenever a defect or permanent deformation is dis
-
covered. In the case of demanding applications, more regular inspec-
tions may be necessary.
Surface cracks
The fork (a) must be subjected to a careful visual inspection for cracks
and, if necessary, a non-destructive crack indication check. Pay partic
-
ular attention to the tilt stop and the upper and lower hooks (c, d),
including their attachments to the shaft (b). The fork must be taken out
of service if surface cracks are discovered.
