Safety instructions for fork extensions
WARNING!
Unsecured and oversized fork extensions can cause accidents.
u Only use fork extensions that are suitable and have been approved for the base
forks of the truck. Observe the data on the data plates of the fork extensions and
truck.
u
The basic fork length must be at least 60% of the length of the fork extension.
u Push out the fork extensions fully and lock onto the basic fork arms.
u Lay the load as close to the fork shanks as possible. The distance between the
overall centre of gravity of the load and the fork shank must not exceed 50% of the
length of the fork extension.
u When carrying out checks and operations before daily starting, see page 71,
check the fork extension lock.
u
Mark any fork extensions with an incomplete or faulty lock and take them out of
service.
u Do not use trucks with an incomplete or faulty fork extension lock. Replace the fork
extension.
u Only restore the fork extension to service when the fault has been rectified.
u Use only fork extensions which are free of dirt and foreign bodies near the entry
opening point. Clean the fork extensions as required.
Z
The weight of the fork extensions reduces the residual capacity of the truck. When
determining the residual capacity, the increased load distance must be taken into
account, see the data plate and capacity plate of the fork extension.
WARNING!
Risk of accidents due to falling loads
In the case of an incorrect load or uneven load distribution, the fork extensions may
be damaged and the load can fall down accidentally.
u Do not use clamping attachments for clamping purposes or in clamping operation
while fork extensions are in use.
u Do not use fork extensions to lengthen the forks on rotary devices.
u
Damaged fork extensions must be marked accordingly and taken out of service.
