Damaged over head guard

Hello,

I have recently come across a forklift interested in purchase. It is all 100% except for the over head guard, which is slightly damaged. Can this be repaired through one of my mechanics, or does it have to be completely replaced, or can a certified engineer remake the damaged parts? If it needs to be completely replaced or if a certified engineer is needed for repairs, please offer me written confirmation through email or fax on +61297562755.

we have our overhead guards repaired by coded welders and the proof tested to the weight of the truck.

As wise man once told me you gamble with what you can afford to lose.
If you are prepared to assume the liability in lieu of replacing with an OEM component go for it.
I have seen many repaired OHG's over the years but never had one done.
Too many lawyers..........

Fact of the week
The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
