Introduction

The ROLLERFORKS® are forklift truck forks made for palletless retrieval and lifting of goods, whether or not the goods are placed on a slipsheet. In addition, the ROLLERFORKS® can be used as replacements for standard forklift truck forks, for use with standard pallets.
The ROLLERFORKS® are intended for use on forklift trucks or other ‘material handling’ machines, and are fitted as standard with an ISO 2328 suspension for attachment to these machines. The ROLLERFORKS® do not incorporate any electrical or hydraulic components and are driven by the manoeuvring back and forth of the machine on which they are mounted.
ROLLERFORKS® can be used both in dry or wet environments and at temperatures between -20°C and +50°C.

Safety

Warning:
Never exceed the forklift truck’s maximum load capacity, regardless of the stated load capacity of the ROLLERFORKS®.
Warning:
Never exceed the maximum load capacity of the ROLLERFORKS®.
Warning:
Never walk under the ROLLERFORKS®.
Warning:
Do NOT use the ROLLERFORKS® in an environment where the temperature is lower than -20°C / -22°F or higher than 50°C / 122°F.
Warning:
The ROLLERFORKS® may not be operated by a minor.

Warning:
While driving with a load, contact between the ROLLERFORKS® and the ground must be avoided. As soon as the ROLLERFORKS® touch the ground the load will roll off the forks, which can lead to damage and dangerous situations.
Warning:
Do NOT lift or move a load using the tips of the ROLLERFORKS® alone.
Caution:
Before use, always equalise the length of the ROLLERFORKS® using the adjusting screw on the heel side. (See Instructions for equalising the ROLLERFORKS®)
Caution:
Do not use a side-shift system when the ROLLERFORKS® are on the ground. This is in order to prevent damage to the ROLLERFORKS®.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the rollers, always lower the ROLLERFORKS® (and carriage plate) in a controlled manner.
Caution:
Always use the widened ROLLERFORKS® (RFCC) for the loading and unloading of refrigerated containers with special circulation grooves on the underside.
The rollers of the standard ROLLERFORKS® could get into the grooves.

Load Capacity

Among other things, the type plate shows the maximum load capacity per set of ROLLERFORKS®. Using the loading diagram shown below, one can determine the load-bearing capacity per ROLLERFORK® or per pair of ROLLERFORKS® for every load centre distance. Correction factors are shown vertically and load centre distances are shown horizontally, measured in millimetres from the front edge of the fork’s back. cascade 6921954 Rollerforks - Load
