Technical features
The auto-balancing lifting forks mod. MB and MBA, are essentially composed of two mobile points. On request, you can
have a central point, which is non-influential on the capacity and is fixed to a mobile sleeve with a through screw. The
sleeve moves vertically upwards and downwards and controls opening and closing of the side points using a specific
device which guarantees its perfect alignment in any opening position.
The auto-balancing lifting forks mod. MBRA-E, ITA and ITA-4D are composed of two or four points (mod.ITA-4D) that
are adjustable by sliding on a tube (mod. MBRA-E) and on a plate (mod. ITA and ITA-4D). Mod. MBRA-E is also height
adjustable at regular intervals.
Lifting forks mod. MBCR and MBACR (not auto-balancing) have the same system to regulate opening of the points on
models MB and MBA. Fork balance is obtained by positioning the link on the correct “unload-load” position.
Lifting forks mod. MBR, MBR-M, MBR-4D (not auto-balancing) are composed of two or four side points (mod. MBR-4D)
that are adjustable by sliding on a tubular crosspiece on the base. These models are also height adjustable at regular
intervals, not mod.MBR-4D.
Lifting forks mod. MBL-A and MBL-R are composed of two, fixed side points. They have different balancing, automatic
in mod. MBL-A and manual in mod. MBL-R.
Other models are built based on specific requests and can be auto-balanced or not and with regulation of the points by
sliding on tubes or plates.
