7. Legibility of markings (where originally present): If the fork identification marking
is not clearly legible, it must be replaced in accordance with the instructions of
the original supplier.
Repair and inspection:
– Repair: The decision as to whether a fork can be repaired and used again in future,
and the repair itself, is a matter for the fork manufacturer or for an appropriately
qualified specialist. The use of forging to repair surface cracks or wear is not
recommended. Following the completion of repairs requiring a realignment, the fork
must be heat-treated in the appropriate, specified manner.
– Test loading: Following a repair – with the exception of repairs to or replacement of
the position locks and/or nameplate – a fork cannot be brought back into service
until it has successfully passed the tests specified by the manufacturer in
accordance with ASME B56.1-2003. The test load per fork must be the rated load
capacity specified on the industrial truck, however.
