Working with KOOI-REACHFORKS®
The KOOI-REACHFORKS®, type RG, feature an integrated synchronising system that enables both forks to extend and
retract simultaneously. However, should the KOOI-REACHFORKS® fail to operate simultaneously, slide the KOOI-REACH-
FORKS® fully in and, whilst the sleeves are in the retracted position, operate the valve for another ±10 seconds. This
gives the hydraulic system a chance to reset both sleeves in their rearmost position.
To minimise wear, avoid allowing the KOOI-REACHFORKS® to come in contact with the ground during operation . In
order to reduce wear:
• The manufacturer can weld a wear-resistant plate under the sleeve which can be replaced when worn out.
• The chains in the forklift mast can be shortened so that the KOOI-REACHFORKS® cannot reach the ground.
