| Fork Inspection: Six Essential Steps?
|
| Forks that break or show excessive wear pose a serious hazard. Fortunately a thorough pre-use fork inspection can identify these deficiencies before they cause accidents.
Here are six items that your fork inspection should cover:
1. Surface cracks: Examine the heel area and welds attaching the mounting components to the fork
blades. Visible surface cracks mean the fork should be removed from service. (See red arrow).
2. Blade and shank straightness: Use a square to check for straightness. A 48-inch fork should not have more than one quarter-inch deviation on either the blade or the shank.
3. Excessive fork angle: The fork angle must be between 87 and 93 degrees.
