There are a number of issues. 1) Drilling holes is not allowed as that generates stress raising effects. 2) Fork ratings are based on the load centre being 500 mm from the fork face [600 mm in Australia]. 3) Lifting at tips even without a hole can cause forks to bend/ fail. Best thing is to buy a lifting frame or jig and have the forklift with that frame or jig rated.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
