Ivan the owner of Midwest Fork & Apollo Welding in Eastlake, OH has been unreliable in resolving problems with defective folding forks supplied. Two orders for 2 customers have been returned for replacement and the result has been broken promises of when the replacements will ship.

Requests for status, credit for returned materials, or even just a return phone call have gone without response. Beware in dealing with Midwest Fork or Apollo Welding!

Measuring is critical, remember tires wear over time depending upon the appication and conditions. TireBooties® will conform somewhat in use.

The "A" measurement is from the ground to the top of the tire, "B" measurement is the tread width(round off to the next 1/2"), and "C" measurement is from the ground to the edge of the rim. If the height is between 3-6" use 3" as your "C" measurement. For 7" or taller divide in half for "C" measurement.

To get the diameter for your TireBooties® add A+B+B+C+C

Example:

"A" is 24" high, "B" is 6.5" wide, and "C" is 5.5" high

24+6.5+6.5+3+3= 43" diameter

Fork Sox can be ordered with a heavier duty Cordura side panels. Some applications exert additional stress on the side panels from abrupt horizonal movement. The heavier side panels will resist the negative impact to the Fork Sox construction. Call to discuss your requirements.

When considering really long forklift forks, understand that you will cross over a barrier at 12'+. Over 12' the forks end up being spliced because of the forging process. This effectively doubles the price of the longer forks. Your the customer and we'll have them made the way you want them. Call for specifics.

This sketch shows the basic dimensions of our Fork Mounted Carpet Pole. To this you would add the length of the pole desired, 8',9', or 10' (4" of pole mounts inside).

 

Cal-OSHA regulations for elevating employees with a forklift can be found at http://www.dir.ca.title8/3657.html.  All of the maintenance platforms we offer can be outfitted with the 84" back riser to meet the platform requirements.

There are equipment and operational requirements you will want to review.

We generally sell forklift forks in pairs because the forks are up-forged in pairs, therefore within a pair they are exact matches. The tips will be at the same height.

One should be careful in trying to match a new fork with an existing one for the above reason, in that the xisting fork may have experienced deflection, excessive wear, or other changes while already in service.

All those things being said, we can furnish individual forks from Cascade, If the fork is in stock as an individual fork, there is no up-charge. If the fork must be made, there is a 10% up-charge and the unit is non returnable. Call for additional details.

By using the Universal Load Backrest you can eliminate service calls for measurements and/or product returns for wrong size. This is accomplished by furnishing slotted mounting holes and slotted holes on the horizontal members that adjust up to 6".
