OBS

Certains utilisateurs adaptent la fourche de leur chariot à des cas bien particuliers de manutention, par exemple [...] en bras pour fourche éperon [...]

OBS

Les éperons permettent de prendre des charges, en général cylindriques, par leur axe intérieur. C'est ainsi que peuvent être manipulés des tuyaux, des tapis, des rouleaux de moquette, des rouleaux de tôles et feuillard, des couronnes de fil, etc.
