4.3. Explanation of indication type
A trademark of Meijer Special Equipment
Often A at Figure 4.1 contains the type of the telescopic fork. From the type code again various
information can derived. Table 4.2 gives the description of the various sections of the type code.
Here is an example:
RE4-35-1350-1000

4.4. Capacity
The type plate, which is mounted at the upper side of the telescopic fork, shows among other things
the maximum carrying capacity per telescopic fork. This data is also engraved on the side of the
telescopic fork. With the following load diagram the capacity per telescopic fork or per couple of
telescopic forks can be defined for each load distance. The correction factors are shown vertically and
the load distances are shown horizontally counted in mm from the front side of the back of the fork. On
the following page an example of the operation is given.
