Hi,

Reach truck model mentioned in subject.

Is there any plausible explanation if when we're retracting the reach of the forks at a height and the forks suddenly jerk 5-7 inches upwards?

Received this complaint from an operator.

I couldn't come up with any logical explanation for this technical wise.
Rather I don't even believe anything as such can happen unless the operator accidentally operates the multipilot's function to move the forks upwards.

Feedback from technical experts will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
