Thanks for your response, fixitandy.

By "bending forks" I intended the word "bend" to mean "flex" or "spring".

When picking up heavier loads, the flexibility engineered into the spring steel of the current forks causes the load to "lean" forward as it is picked up. Re-engineering the rack system is not feasible. Turret trucks are also not feasible at this time. It is possible to train operators of counterbalance rider trucks to handle the "leaning" loads without hitting the rack shelves, but because the new palletized load heights leave so little clearance, training for the required precision takes too long to accomplish. I thought there might be an alternative fork supplier that might have less "spring" in their spring steel forks, or some other solution to this load handling problem.
