I recently received a forklift for a customer whereby the attachment manufacturer has welded front plates on the fron face of the forks.My concern is that there is welding horizontally 2 inches on the inside of the fork heel.Is there any legislation or writing that I can get on this.I am convinced that welding close to the inside raduis of any fork should result in a catastrophical failure.Your opinions please

follow up.-Hallo All.Thanks for your valued replys.The legislation in Mozambique is non existent till somebody gets hurt,then burocracy takes over and you will be nailed for everything you have.To give you guys more detail on the circuimstances of the machines above.The forklift Brand is a Linde 14ton unit supplied by Linde heavy truck division.The attachment supplier is Micron engineering which is also the official representitive of Auramo attachments in Southern Africa.In the meantime all the forks have started to crack at exactly the welding on each fork.The best part is that Auramo are refusing any responsibility for this because in their opinion Linde have accepted the machine after the attachment was fitted.In my opinion if you are a well known supplier like Auramo it would not be strange for a dealer to accept the machine as Auramo is the manufacturer of the attachment and probably would have fitted the attachment as per legal requiremnts which they obviously didnt.Auramo SA now claims that their warranty excludes them from consequential loss.I myself cannot believe these guys attitude toward obviously something that they have done wrong.I will try and post a picture of the weld
