How it works
The crane fork is equipped with a spring loaded
trolley that keeps the forks level with or without a
load. The trolley is designed so that when tension is
relieved on the hoist line, the spring returns the
trolley to the empty fork position. When the load is
lifted and tension is applied, the trolley travels out
to a predetermined stop set at the load center of the
loaded crane fork. A trolley end stop pin is provided
to adjust the travel of the trolley for various
pallet/package sizes.
Operation
When picking a new load check to see that the load
is being carried with the forks level or slightly tipped
up. If not, immediately lower the load to the ground
and relieve the tension on the hoist line. Then
reposition the Trolley End Stop Pin in the top arm to
adjust the travel of the trolley so that it stops at the
crane fork’s loaded vertical load center. You may
have to move the pin several times to nd the
position where the forks hang level or slightly
tipped up with the load.
For proper operation of the trolley, the load must be
greater than 1,100 lbs otherwise the trolley will not
travel properly. When lifting the load, the hoist line
should lead the load slightly to ensure that the
trolley moves out to the loaded stop position. The
maximum load capacity of the Crane Fork must not
be exceeded. The maximum load capacities are
based on a 23.6" load center on the forks. Use
handles to guide the crane fork into the
pallet/package. Keep hands o other parts of the
crane fork during use to prevent getting ngers
mashed between the crane fork and the load.
Never stand under the load.

Transporting the pallet fork
When in transit, the pallet fork must be properly
secured and if it is carried on a boom truck make sure
the boom and crane fork cannot swing out in an
uncontrolled manner. In addition make sure the
boom does not exert any extreme compression force
on the crane fork.
