[QUOTE="haymaker, post: 127713, member: 22924"] That machine is a workhorse. I could see some of the cheap aftermarket forks getting damaged if overloaded. Everyone (almost) has a tendency to buy the minimum they think they will need then when a situation comes up where they really need something heavier duty they just make do and that's when stuff gets broken. Good welds on forks rated for the work should not break so I would guess the forks are getting overloaded. That or welds were likely not sufficient size for the work or were poor quality. A couple of tack welds to just hold the forks in place someone wanted to remove when the job was done could very likely crack during use. JMHO [/QUOTE]
