Feature Article: Proper Fork and Chain Inspections
 | | click for free download |
Forks and chains bear the brunt of the workload with each lift and lowering of every load. Wear and tear can not only increase your costs, but it poses a potentially disastrous situation.
While OSHA requires inspection of forks and chains daily, they don't provide guidelines about what to inspect and what to look for. This month's Feature Article will provide you with information you need to ensure your chains and forks are operating within safe parameters.
Unsure about inspecting them yourself? Just give your local Tri-Lift branch a call at 540-387-3377 and we'll set up and appointment to do it for you.
