5.1
Integral side shift
It is one most frequently used in the WIDE OPENING FORK POSITIONER TYPE 883 and uses
the same cylinders that translate the forks. The stroke depends on the opening and will be equal
to zero in maximum opening and minimum closing.
Since the stroke of the equipment can be
higher than that defined by the standards on the stability of the forklift (100 + 100 mm up to
6300 Kg of capacity and 150 +150 mm for higher capacities) it could therefore generate
problems on lateral stability and premature wear of the must profiles, it will be necessary to
check the applicability with the forklift manufacturer.
The sideshifting with a determined load will be the minimum value between the following
two:
1.
Maximum opening (A max) minus load width (Lc) divided by two.
[(A max
–
Lc) / 2]
2.
Load width (Lc) minus minimum opening (A min.) divided by two.
[(Lc
–
A min) / 2]
The sideshifting outside the center of the load is only allowed on the ground.
In this case a loss of force could occur with consequent possibility of load loss.
As a precaution it can be considered that the center of gravity of the
equipment moves laterally by the translation value (per part). If the precise
value is required, the manufacturer of the equipment must be consulted
.
