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.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
