u measurement
The u measurement is the distance between fork●tip●and●the●wheel-fork●pivot●
point .
T measurement
The measurement from●back●of●forks●to●the●wheel●fork●pivot●point is called the
T measurement. The T measurement can be calculated with the formula:
T =
l
-u
As an example the u and T measurements are important for long side handling of
pallets. With incorrect u and T measurements, the fork wheels will not fit between
the pallet legs. As a result, the truck will crush the pallet during lift operation.
p measurement
The p measurement is also a measurement that can be used to determine placement
of the fork wheels.
The p measurement is described as the
distance●from●fork●tip●to●front●face●of●
