We had a customer who put the forks on a S7.00XL Hyster to give him extra clearance to move an injection moulding machine on a fork mounted crane jib in a low ceiling area. They lifted the £150.000 machine over the top of another £150.000 machine when the fork bottom (or top as it then was) hook snapped off and smashed both machines to pieces!! A very costly accident!!!
