QualityForkExtension
y
ns made byy VETTER
The ideal solution for lifting loads
which are much longer than the
existing fork.
Designed according to ISO 13284
and CE guideline Machines
89/392/EEU-IIA!
Available versions
Open version
Closed version
Welded structure with an open
lower side
Welded and extra solid box
design with a closed lower side
Solid and cost-effective solution
for the transport of loads which
are distributed over the whole
length of the extension
Designed to lift also loads which
have their centre of gravity
outside the length of the basic
fork
Demands of ISO 13284
Please observe:
The existing fork must support at least 60 % of the fork extension length.
Otherwise,, technical clearance is necesssary.
y
LGV(max) = LGZ / 0,6
The rated capacity of the fork extension
n is designed to suit the particular fork,
the rated capacity and load centre of th
he lift truck needs to be checked
separately.
Demands of ISO 13284
Please observe:
Fork extensions need to be equipped with
w locking bolts to prevent slipping
o
off.
These looking bolts have to stand 50 % of the defined test load, i.e. sufficient
stabilityy is necessary.
y
Demands of ISO 13284
Further demands:
Minimum tolerance between fork exte
ension and the particular fork is 10mm,
maximum 10 % p
play
y are allowed.
Fork extension has to comply with all demands of ISO 2330, i.e.
Endurance tested
Minimum 1,000,000
stress cycles with 25 %
overload without failures
Safety factor 3:1
Tested with 300 % of the
rated capacity without
faillures
