Length of the fork arms
DANGER
Risk of accident due to the incorrect selection of
fork arms!
– The fork arms must match the depth of the load.
If the fork arms are too short, the load may fall
off the arms after it has been picked up. In ad-
dition, be aware that the load centre of gravity
may shift as a result of dynamic forces, such
as braking. A load that is otherwise resting
safely on the fork arms may move forwards
and fall.
If the fork arms are too long, they can catch on
loading units behind the load that is to be
picked up. These other loading units then fall
over when the load is raised.
– For help with selecting the correct fork
arms, contact the authorised service centre.

matic tyres and superelastic tyres
●
Tyres not approved by the manufacturer
●
Excessive tyre wear
●
Tyres of inferior quality

The following rules must be observed to en-
sure stability:
