Carpenter square
Metal block
Blade
Shank
If the fork blade at the heel is worn down by
more than 10%, the load capacity is reduced
and the fork must be replaced.
Inspect the forks for twists and bends. Put a
50mm(2in) thick metal block, at least 100mm(4in)
wide by 600mm(24in) long with parallel sides, on
the blade of the fork with the 100mm(4in) surface
against the blade. Put a 600mm(24in) carpenter's
square on the top of the block and against the
shank. Check the fork 500mm(20in) above the
blade to make sure it is not bent more than
25
mm
mm(1in) maximum.
If the fork blades are obviously bent or
damaged, have them inspected by a trained
maintenance person before operating the
truck.
Inspect the fork locking pins for cracks or damage.
Reinsert them and note whether they fit properly.
