Select suitable length of the fork tine so that it
does not extend past the load. The pallet in front
or material may be damaged since the fork tines
have high penetration force.
Place the load as close as possible to the fork's
vertical shank.
Pick up the load with the smallest possible angle
of the pallet fork.
Deviations from complete parallel movement may
occur (see specifications) and this may affect use
of the fork.
Operating with loads
Keep the load low (30–40 cm) above the ground
for best stability and visibility.
Tilt back to hold the load safer.
Reverse to the unloading site if the load reduces
visibility.
Adapt speed to current operating conditions.
Use load supports when handling high loads.
Combi forks (optional equipment)
Combi forks (optional equipment)
Always check the control functions for the
attachment before starting to work.
The combi fork is a good alternative for material
handling, when some holding of the load is
required. A special combi fork frame is used where
standard forks are mounted.
The combi fork is suitable for:
Goods on pallets and round logs.
Within the pulp industry and on building sites,
where both pallet goods and compressed
materials (recyclable paper, packaging materials,
etc.) are handled.
Approval and legal requirements
Approval and legal requirements
Maximum permitted load according to CEN-
standard EN 474-3 is stated in percent of the tipping
load.
The percentages, which may not be exceeded, are
as follows:
Uneven ground:
It must be possible to control and handle the load
hydraulically in all likely positions at the same time
