15000 KG Side Shit Forks
15000 KG SIDE SHIFT FORKS
The side shift fork attachment is rated to carry 15000 kg at 600 mm from the fork tine face. The fork tines are fastened to the attach plate chassis via a top pin and bottom keeper. One double acting cylinder is located on each fork tine to enable independent side shift from the machine’s hydraulic PTO controls. Load chains are fastened to the attach plate chassis to support the carried load on the forks.

Servicing
Every time the side shift forks are attached to the machine a visual inspection should be carried out to ensure that the locking and retention components are in good condition.
1. Check the fork assembly RAS attach hooks for damage. 2. Check the RAS lock tongue slot for damage or excessive wear. 3. Check the fork tine back plate welds for signs of cracking. 4. Check the fork tines for damage, particularly at the heel of the fork and the pin block at the top of the fork. 5. After the forks have been attached to the machine check that the RAS lock tongue is fully engaged in the RAS plate lock tongue slot. 6. Side shift both forks and check for free operation and hydraulic system leaks.
It is recommended that non-destructive structural integrity testing be carried out annually on the RAS lock tongue slot, the RAS attach hooks, fork tines and mountings and associated welds. Three step part dye penetrate testing is recommended.
1. Thoroughly clean and degrease the lock tongue slot plate, RAS attach hooks, fork tine heel, pin block associated welds and allow to dry. 2. Apply the three step non-destructive test as per the manufacturer’s recommendations. 3. Record or mark any suspect areas and have the repair carried out promptly.
Do not use the fork attachment if defects are found. Report the faults immediately to a supervisor and have the fault repaired and verified before use.
