SELECTION GUIDE
How to assemble the fork + accessory system
The fork + accessory system is assembled by selecting the fork size suitable for the load and pin diameter, then pairing it with the corresponding clip or headed pin. All components are standardized and interchangeable within the same size.
Applications requiring frequent assembly and disassembly
The clip allows for a quick connection that can be fitted and removed easily. Suitable for applications where accessibility for maintenance is required.
Applications involving significant static forces
The headed pin is more robust than the clip, making it suitable for higher static loads and applications where disassembly is less frequent.
