Question: A telehandler operator is performing a pre-operational inspection of the fork attachment. They observe a crack propagating from the heel of one of the forks, approximately 25 mm long. According to CSA B335-15, what action should the operator take?

Answer options: ✅ The fork must be immediately removed from service and replaced.

  • The crack should be ground smooth and the fork can remain in service.
  • The fork can remain in service as long as the crack does not exceed 50 mm.
  • The crack should be welded by a certified welder and the fork can remain in service.

Correct answer: The fork must be immediately removed from service and replaced.

Explanation: CSA B335-15, 'Safety Standard for Lift Trucks,' specifies that any fork with a crack, regardless of size, must be immediately removed from service and replaced. Grinding, welding, or continuing to use a cracked fork compromises its structural integrity and creates a significant safety hazard.
