This user manual is for Cascade Telescopic Forks.
Contents include Operation, Capacity, Truck
Requirements, Installation, Periodic Maintenance and
Troubleshooting.
A telescopic fork consists of a fork shank/blade (with
internal cylinder) and a moveable outer shoe.
The fork shank/blade contains an internal hydraulic
cylinder, and via the piston rod it extends and retracts
the shoe. The hydraulics to power the cylinder are
connected to fittngs on top of the shank. The oil passes
inside the fork from the fittings to the internal cylinder.
The standard thickness forks are configured to operate
with hydraulics connected in series. The right fork
(viewed from drivers seat) is the driver and the left fork
is the follower.
Thin models (less than 2 in., 50 mm) thick are
configured to operate with flow divider hydraulics.
The Fork Extension (TFE) models are used to pick up
pallets from the length or width direction of Euro pallets
or International pallets. They should not be extended
when loaded.
NOTE: All specifications are shown in metric units where
applicable. All fasteners have a torque value range of
±10% of stated value.
IMPORTANT: Telescopic forks are metric. Supply
fittings adapted as required for application.
