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 manufac-
turer’s rated load may cause telehandler tip
over, loss of load, or structural damage which
could result 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 telehandler of any third party attachment.
This telehandler 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 telehandler. 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 telehandler capacity of 6,000
pounds (2,721.5 kilograms). The total rated
capacity of the forks being used must equal
or exceed telehandler capacity. Forks can
bend or break causing loss of load and could
result in death or serious injury.
All approved forks for this telehandler 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).

(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 telehandler is 6,000
pounds (2,721.5 kilograms). The matched pair or set of forks
used on this telehandler should have total load ratings which
equal or exceed 6,000 pounds (2,721.5 kilograms). When the
load rating of the telehandler differs from the load capacity of
the forks, the lower value becomes the overall load capacity.
