Attachment Disclaimer
Attachments
Warning
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s rated load
for any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to
lift or carry loads in excess of the manufactur-
er’s rated load may cause forklift tip over, loss
of load, or structural damage which could re-
sult in death, serious injury, or property damage.
Snorkel Manufacturing makes no representations or warranties,
expressed or implied, as to the design, manufacture, or fitness
for use with this forklift of any third party attachment. This
forklift is not intended to be used and should not be used
with an attachment that would alter the center of gravity or
stability of this forklift. Snorkel Manufacturing assumes no
liability for any third party attachment that would alter the
center of gravity or stability.
Fork Ratings
Warning
DO NOT exceed forklift capacity of 5,500
pounds (2,494 kilograms). The total rated
capacity of the forks being used must equal
or exceed forklift capacity. Forks can bend or
break causing loss of load and could result in
death or serious injury.
All approved forks for this forklift are marked with a maximum
load capacity rating (A). This rating is stamped on the left edge
of the fork just below the fork pivot shaft. The rating listed is in
U.S. pounds and is based upon a 24 inch (610 mm) load center
(B). This rating specifies the maximum load capacity that the
individual fork can safely carry at a maximum load center of 24
inches (610 mm).
Fig 74. Fork Ratings
(A) Maximum Load Capacity Rating (B) 24 inch Load Center
Because forks are always used in multiples, the total rating
of any combination of forks will be the sum of their rated
capacity. Other than block forks, all forks should be used in
matched pairs. Block forks should be used in matched sets.
The maximum load capacity for this forklift is 5,500 pounds
(2,494 kilograms). The matched pair or set of forks used on
this forklift should have total load ratings which equal or
exceed 5,500 pounds (2,494 kilograms). When the load rating
of the forklift differs from the load capacity of the forks, the
lower value becomes the overall load capacity.
