What they are for
Bernardo 1525 mm fork extensions slide onto the forklift truck's forks, increasing the support surface for handling long loads — beams, panels, pipes, coils — that would protrude from standard forks. They do not increase the forklift's capacity: the load limit remains the forklift's nominal capacity, reduced by the weight of the extensions themselves and taking into account the forward shift of the center of gravity. Always use the locking device/safety chain to prevent them from slipping during operation.

Frequently asked questions
What are fork extensions for?
Extensions increase the useful length of forklift forks, allowing the handling of long loads — beams, panels, pipes, coils — that would protrude from standard forks. They slide onto existing forks like a sleeve. They do not increase the forklift's capacity: the load limit remains that of the forklift, reduced by the weight of the extensions themselves.
How do I check compatibility with the forklift forks?
Bernardo extensions are identified by two dimensions: total length (1525 or 1830 mm) and minimum width of the host fork (100, 125 or 150 mm). The forklift fork must have a width and cross-sectional height compatible with the internal opening of the extension. Check the measurements of your forklift forks before purchasing.
Is there a load limit with extensions?
Yes. Extensions do not increase the forklift's capacity — they reduce it, because the load's center of gravity shifts forward. The reduction depends on the length of the extension and the distance of the center of gravity. Always consult the forklift's load chart and reduce the load according to the forklift manufacturer's instructions.
Is specific fastening required to mount them on the forks?
The extensions slide onto the forklift forks by direct insertion. They must be secured with a chain or safety cable to prevent them from slipping during operation — this safety device is mandatory by standard. Do not use extensions without safety fastening.
Spare parts and assistance available?
Original Bernardo spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
