joesph,
How would one interpret the term "conventional" forks. The reason I ask, most lift truck manufacturers indicate there standard configurations is with 42" or 48" long forks. On rare occasions, lifts can be fitted with 84" - 96" long forks (say for truss handling). In most cases the lift capacity (typically a 15K pneumatic) is limited by the strength of the forks vs truck limitations.
