Fork extensions
Fork Extensions
Are metal sleeves which slide on to the forks and lock into place
enabling longer loads to be handled. The extension must not be more
than 50% longer than the original forks (40% for trucks over 5,000 kg)
and the load carried should not overhang the extension. Residual capacity
will be reduced with extensions fitted.
Types:
- • U-channel with heel strap
- • Box channel - mainly used on larger loads
