Features of the TKG VH Crane Forks

These crane forks are able to handle pallet as well as coils due to the fact that the tines can be adjusted. They would be set wide apart for handling pallets and close together for lifting coils. The length of the tines in 1000 mm making them long enough to carry a pallet with excellent stability.

The height is also adjustable with the adjustable range varying across the models, the maximum usable height is 2000 mm. It is easy to adjust by removing the retaining clip and pin from the frame and highering or lowering the upper part of the frame to the desired height before re-inserting the pin and retaining clip.

There is a securing chain to wrap around the palletised load for extra safety, this is anchored back into an eye on the main body/frame.

There are various anchoring points for the suspension eye at the top of the frame where your crane/hoist hook will be positioned. The position chosen will depend on the loads centre of gravity which should always be maintained. The tines will tilt upwards slightly (no more than 5 degrees ) to ensure the load does not slip off.

Always carry out a test lift to ensure the centre of gravity, attachments and tines are in the correct position to ensure good stability. You can find out more in the user manual download above.
