Figure 6.8 – Fork Ratings
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 5,100
pounds (2,313.3 kilograms). The matched pair or set
of forks used on this telehandler should have total load
ratings which equal or exceed 5,100 pounds (2,313.3
kilograms). When the load rating of the telehandler dif-
fers from the load capacity of the forks, the lower value
becomes the overall load capacity.
Standard Carriage Operation
The standard carriage uses manually adjustable forks
and can be tilted up or down by using the thumb stick on
the control handle.
