Working with REACHFORKS®
The Cascade-KOOI REACHFORKS®, feature an integrated synchronizing system that enables both forks to extend and
retract simultaneously. However, should the REACHFORKS® fail to operate simultaneously, slide the REACHFORKS®
fuly in and, while the sleeves are in the retracted position, operate the valve for another ±10 seconds. This gives the
hydraulic system a chance to reset both sleeves in their rearmost position.
To minimise wear, avoid allowing the REACHFORKS® to come in contact with the ground during operation. In order to
reduce wear:
• The manufacturer can weld a wear-resistant plate under the sleeve which can be replaced when worn out.
• The chains in the forklift mast can be shortened so that the REACHFORKS® cannot reach the ground.
