Suggest you ask some fork manufacturers. I am sure they can help you. Go to the Business Directory and search for "forks" in the category "Manufacturers Index". there are several manufacturers who have ShopFronts and all contact details there. i will send you a seperate email.
Cheers

I have heard of materials like forged steel, alloy steel and even brass.

I think the brass type is for anti-spark but I don't need that. Mine is just for a normal warehouse use.
