• load distribution
• operator safety
• component wear
• long-term attachment durability

The 2AT47 includes pre-cut fork lock notches that allow pallet forks to:

• seat properly
• lock securely
• maintain stable positioning during operation

Improperly sized or poorly aligned carriage rails can result in:

• excessive fork movement
• unstable lifting conditions
• accelerated hook wear
• uneven load handling
• reduced lifting performance

For material handling systems operating under repeated lifting cycles, maintaining accurate ITA geometry is critical for safe and dependable performance.
