All forks produced comply with the parameters outlined by the International Quality Standards ISO 2328 and 2330.
In order to satisfy these standards, each different type of forks is subjected to the following tests:
  • 1 fatigue test - 1,000,000 cycles with load 25% higher than normal (pulse test bench).
  • static test - 2 cycles with triple nominal load, without permanent deformation (pulse test bench).
  • resilience test at -20°C with a resulting value higher than 27 Joules.
Furthermore, the fork homologation is subject to the UNI ISO 2330 parameters.

To be ahead, means to have strong roots
Of course, the Bolzoni fork success has been possible also thanks to the long lasting cooperation in place with the lift truck Manufacturers, collaboration which began in the early 90's, with the supply of hook-on and integral sideshifts first, then with hook-on and integral attachments.

Forks are market under the "Bolzoni" brand, and are offered as a full range, in section and length and FEM/ITA hooks.
