Is there an acceptable repair/ weld procedure to fix a fork that is broken in the heel area? I am referring to a fork capacity rateing at 70,000 lbs. on a Kalmar lift used for lifting steel slab. These large forks are not cheap, can this be fixed safely? Or is replacement nessary? Thanks for your follow-up.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
