FORK BLADE LIMITED WARRANTY 

BENT FORK BLADES are a condition of operation error and are NOT a warranted condition.  If you do bend a blade, call  

1-877-SAS-FORK and a factory representative will assist you in the procedure for straightening the bent blade.  The blades, under most 
circumstances, can be straightened. 

BROKEN/CRACKED FORK BLADES must meet the following specifications to qualify for a broken blade replacement: 

1) The tips of the blade must measure at least 90% of the original thickness at the originally designed length.   

The STANDARD 15’ HEAVY DUTY FORK BLADES are designed and shipped from the factory at one and one-half  

(1 ½”) inches thick and one hundred and ninety two (192”) inches long. 

ALL OTHER BLADES ARE CUSTOM DESIGNED; Consult SAS for original fork blade design specifications. 

2) The blades must not have been welded or ground in any manner other than for welding of factory approved skid pads. 
3) The blades must not have an upward deflection of more than 1” per 10’ as measured from the tip. * 
4) The blades must not be cracked from the bottom, or the crack must not originate from the bottom.* 
    *Both of the above conditions are caused from repeated down pressure.  This is not a warrantable condition. See page 5 and 8 
5) Refer to the ‘conditions that will void your warranty’ 
If the blade(s) break and the blades meet these conditions, the factory will ship you freight collect a new replacement blade at no charge.

CARRIAGE UNIT LIMITED WARRANTY

the specifications you provided. 
This is warranted against cracks in material, weldments, and factory machined areas. 

WEAR OF BASE PLATE LOWER CARRAIGE, which is structural material, voids the warranty.  This is caused from not maintaining 

skid plates under the carriage. See page 6. 

BROKEN/CRACKED LOWER CARRAIGE: 

Cracking or breaking of the carriage unit from the bottom voids the warranty.  This is caused from improper operation.  Usually caused 
by repeated down pressure and wheelies.  This is not a warrantable condition. See pages 5 and 8.

 Unauthorized modification, welding, burning, grinding, installation of non-factory skid plates, etc. (other than specifically allowed  

   in the SAS FORKS™ Operator Manual or as provided in a written authorization directly from SAS factory Engineers.). 

 Continued use after a malfunction of the hydraulic system in the forklift or loader. 

 Accidental damage. 

 

LIMITED WARRANTY REMEDIES: Buyer must notify SAS of any warranty claim within 10 days after such claim arises; otherwise 
buyer waves all rights to such claim.  Unless agreed otherwise in writing.  Buyer’s sole remedy for breach of warranty is, at seller’s 
option, the repair of the defect, or the providing of a replacement part F.O.B. seller’s office.  Seller will not be responsible for costs of 
dismantling or reassembling the product.  Further, seller will not be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, or special 
damages arising out of a breach of warranty.  These remedies are exclusive, and all other warranty remedies are excluded. 

 

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: All designs and other proprietary rights provided by SAS to Buyer are to remain the property of SAS, and 
Buyer shall honor all proprietary legends.  Buyer agrees not to copy the design of S.A.S.™ Forks. 

 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: The seller’s price is based on the enforceability of this limitation of liability, and the buyer understands 
that the price would be substantially higher without this limitation.  Seller shall have no liability to buyer for lost profits or for special, 
consequential, exemplary, or incidental damages of any kind, whether arising in contract, tort, product-liability, or otherwise, even if 
advised of the potential damages in advance. 

 In no event shall seller be liable to buyer for any damages whatsoever in excess of the contract price. 

 In the event that any warranty or warranty remedy fails of its essential purpose, or is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, 

in consideration of the other provisions of this agreement, the parties understand and agree that all limitations of liability under this 
provision will nevertheless remain in effect. 
SEVERABILITY:  Any legally unenforceable provision may be severed from this agreement, and the remaining terms and conditions 
will be enforced as a whole.
