FAQ Fork Hooks and Locking mechanism

When do fork hooks or lockings need to be replaced?

Replacement is advisable when the fork hooks or locking mechanism are damaged, worn, or no longer function safely. These components are often worn even though the fork itself has not yet reached its wear limit. In this case, the fork can continue to be used by replacing the spare parts.

Do I have to replace the entire fork?

No. If only the fork hooks or lockings are damaged, replacing these components is often sufficient. This saves costs and extends the service life of the existing forks.

What does the set include?

The set consists of:

• upper fork hook
• lower fork hook
• locking mechanism

Depending on the version, the appropriate components for your forks are selected.

For which forks is the set suitable?

The fork hooks are available for various ISO versions. Suitable variants are available for ISO 2 and ISO 3, among others.

The selection depends on the design of your fork or the ISO class, as well as the dimensions of the existing fork hook. The most common forks are equipped with the selection. We would be happy to assist you in selecting the right spare parts.

Can I weld the fork hooks myself?

Welding the fork hooks should only be carried out by qualified specialist personnel and in compliance with the applicable welding regulations. Improper welding work can impair the safety of the fork arm.

What are the advantages of replacing fork hooks?

Replacement allows for quick and economical repair without having to replace the entire fork. This reduces downtimes and saves costs.

Are fork hooks and lockings safety-relevant components?

Yes. Fork hooks and locking levers ensure a secure connection between the fork and the fork carriage. Damaged or worn components should therefore be replaced immediately to ensure safe operation of the industrial truck.

Please note:

• Welding work may only be carried out by certified and authorized welders / welding companies. Improper welding or heat treatments can lead to the destruction of the material structure and to the fracture of the fork!
