Question: While checking the forks of a telehandler, an operator notices that one fork blade is worn down by 11% of its original thickness. According to CSA B354.6, what action is necessary?

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

  • The fork can remain in service but should only lift 90% of its rated capacity.
  • Schedule a professional inspection for welding repair.
  • The fork can continue to be used but requires daily monitoring for cracks.

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

Explanation: CSA B354.6 specifies that a fork shall be removed from service if the thickness of the blade has been reduced by 10% from its original thickness at any point. An 11% reduction means the fork no longer meets safety standards and must be replaced to prevent catastrophic failure under load.
