Pallet Forklift Blade

Forks, tynes, or blades play a crucial role in the operation of forklifts. These components are essential for the support, lifting, and transportation of various loads within industrial, construction, and warehouse settings.

The design of forklift tynes ensures that they can accommodate different types of cargo with efficiency and safety. Whether you’re replacing worn-out tynes or upgrading for heavier loads, choosing the right forklift fork is critical to safe and productive operations.

How to Measure Forklift Tynes

Not sure which size you need? Here’s how to measure forklift tynes correctly:

  • Length

    Measure from the heel to the tip of the blade.

  • Width

    Measure across the surface of the tyne.

  • Thickness

    Measure from the top to the bottom of the blade.

  • Mounting Class

    Identify the carriage class (Class 2, 3, or 4) based on your forklift’s capacity and mast size.

FAQs About Forklift Tynes

  • A tyne (also called a tine or fork) is the metal prong used to lift, carry, and move loads.

  • Both are correct. “Tynes” is the preferred Australian spelling, while “tines” is used in American English.

  • Forklifts have both. Tynes (or forks) are for lifting, and tyres are for mobility.

  • They are typically made of high-tensile steel to withstand heavy loads and repeated lifting.

  • Measure the length, width, and thickness of the tynes and check the mounting class.

  • Use a tape measure for the length (heel to tip), width (across the blade), and thickness (top to bottom). Double-check the carriage class for compatibility.

  • It’s the mounting system used to attach forks. Classes 2, 3, and 4 are common, varying by lifting capacity and fork height.

  • Yes. Most forklifts have two axles—one in the front for driving and one in the rear for steering.

  • Typically four, but some compact or specialized models have three.

  • It’s the triangle formed by the front wheels and the pivot point of the rear axle—crucial for load balance and stability.
