German fork arm manufacturer VETTER Forks has showcased the largest forks - BigForks - it has produced from its Burbach factory now en route to a Danish customer working in the wind industry.

The forks blade length is 5m with the back of the fork measuring 3.5m. The forks have a load capacity of 45T and a have a cross section of 350mm x 150mm.

“These BigForks will soon be used to transport cabins for wind turbines, which are a real heavyweight in the field of renewable energies,” VETTER states. 

“The transportation was equally impressive: a specially organised heavy load transport safely delivered the forks to Northern Europe.”

VETTER says it is now working on a newer order for BigForks which it says is in the pipeline and are “even bigger and more impressive”.
