APPENDIX
TEST METHOD NO. 26
SIDESHIFT, OSCILLATION, AND FORK SPREAD
1.
TEST APPARATUS:
a.
Clinometer.
b.
Linear measurement equipment.
c.
Stopwatch.
d.
Thermocouple.
2.
TEST PROCEDURE:
a. Clockwise Oscillation.
(1) With the forklift on a level surface, block up the front
axle evenly so that none of the front tires are in
contact with the ground. Place rated load on the forks
and sideshift the load to extreme left side position.
Place a clinometer on the loador carriage.
(2) Oscillate the load to extreme counterclockwise position
and record the angle of oscillation relative to the
horizontal obtained.
(3) Oscillate the load to clockwise position and record the
angle of oscillation relative to the horizontal obtained.
(4) Repeat 2a(2) and 2a(3) at low engine idle and high engine
idle a minimum of 3 times each and record time for each.
b. Counterclockwise Oscillation.
(1) With the forklift on a level surface, block up the front
axle evenly so that none of the front tires are in
contact with the ground. Place rated load on the forks
and sideshift the load to extreme right side position.
Place a clinometer on the load or carriage.
(2) Oscillate the load to extreme clockwise position and
record the angle of oscillation relative to horizontal
obtained.
(3) Oscillate the load to extreme counterclockwise position
and record the angle of oscillation relative to
horizontal obtained.
(4) Repeat 2b(2) and 2b(3) at low engine idle and at high
engine idle a minimum of 3 times and record time for
each.
