Aardwolf Fork Extensions (Standard) - Pair - FES-2000

Aardwolf Fork Extensions (Standard) - Pair - FES-2000

A fast and efficient way of handling lightweight loads of bulk. The fork blade extensions are invaluable when it comes to loading or unloading material out of the back of pick-up trucks. The fork extensions slide over fork blades and are locked onto fork blades by tightening the two bolts located on the back of each fork extension. They are further restrained by a heel pin which fits behind the existing fork blades.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect suction pads before each use for cuts, cracks, wear, or contamination that could affect vacuum performance.
• Keep all vacuum pads, filters, and sealing surfaces clean and free from dust, oil, and debris to maintain maximum lifting capacity.
• Test both independent vacuum circuits and verify audio/visual warning systems are functioning properly before operation.
• Monitor battery charge levels and fully recharge batteries after use to ensure reliable lifting performance.
• Regularly inspect hoses, fittings, and vacuum lines for leaks, damage, or loose connections.
• Check extension arms, rotation mechanisms, and tilting components for smooth operation and signs of wear.
• Lubricate moving joints and pivot points according to manufacturer recommendations to reduce wear.
• Never exceed the rated working load limit of 500 kg horizontal or 400 kg vertical lifting.
• Inspect electrical wiring, battery terminals, and charging equipment for corrosion or damage before use.
• Store the lifter indoors in a clean, dry environment and protect suction pads from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Perform routine safety inspections on lifting points, frame components, and vacuum systems, replacing worn parts immediately.
• Verify automatic vacuum pumping functionality before handling glass or other non-porous materials.
