"Forks", in the context of material handling and forklifts, refer to attachments that drastically enhance a forklift's ability to handle, lift, and transport materials of various forms. Acting as the 'arms' of the forklift, they play a crucial role in lifting cargo off the ground and supporting it while in transit, serving as the primary point of interaction between the load and the machine. Forks come in an array of shapes and sizes designed to accommodate different requirements. These range from pallet forks, the most common type, to more specialized types such as lumber or bale forks. When purchasing forks, consider elements such as the load capacity and type of material handled. Take into account their length, width, and thickness, which should match the weight and size of the load, as well as the lifting height required. Also known as tynes or prongs, these attachments prove vital in warehouses, construction sites, and any industry that relies on the safe and efficient transport of heavy materials, making forks a pivotal component in the broader scope of material handling.
