5.3 FORK MOUNTED ATTACHMENTS
General Requirements
• Certain fork mounted attachments have a dedicated capacity chart. The attachment
type, weight and dimensions must be equal to or less than the data shown on a
capacity chart located in the operator cab. If it does not have a dedicated capacity
chart, utilize the applicable carriage capacity chart on which the fork mounted
attachment is attached.
• Fork mounted attachments are to be used on telehandlers with a standard carriage or
side tilt carriage with pallet or lumber forks only.
• All fork mounted attachments must ensure secure connection with pins behind the
heel of the forks. Do not secure using chains, straps or clamps directly to the forks, fork
carriage, load bar and/or the boom.
• The forks of the carriage must support 2/3 of the load length for any load applied.
• The weight of the fork mounted attachment, rigging and the associated load is to be
included in the total load being lifted. Refer to the capacity chart for the carriage in
use.
• The capacity chart for the applicable carriage is established with a 24-inch load center,
and the load center of the attachment and load must equal 24 inches to utilize the
existing load chart capacities.
• When the load center of a combined attachment and/or load exceeds 24 inches, the
equivalent load must be calculated to use with the carriage capacity chart. See
Mounted Attachments Equivalent Load”
Note:
When lifting loads, ensure that the center of gravity (CG) of the load being lifted is
centered (right to left) between the forks.
