RECOMMENDED USE OF 15' SAS FORKS™
Picking up vehicles from front to back, and moving of vehicles within your lot quickly and safely.

1. Unloading incoming car haulers to get them back on the road sooner.
2. Removing them from your incoming drop zone to your holding area.
3. Moving them from the holding area to the sale area.
4. Organizing your sale area neatly.
5. Loading car hauler and transports quickly and safely.

ESTIMATED TIME SAVINGS
Vehicles can be picked up, moved and spotted with 15' forks in less than one-tenth of the time it would take you to do this job with a wrecker. Thus a yard managed with 15' forks can handle your present volume per day with one-quarter of the number of yard employees.

DAMAGE FREE HANDLING WITH 15' SAS FORKS™
The vehicles you are handling have the most value to the rebuilder or recycler if it has no after collision damage. Moving and spotting of vehicles, especially the late model salvage, with wreckers results in a high loss of front, rear and side parts because of the crudeness of wreckers and their operators. Also, keep in mind today's vehicles with their rubber bumpers, sheet metal reinforcements, plastic panels, etc. Forks less than 15' are not recommended because they do not reach to the rear suspension. Placement of lift pressure points on the vehicle are important so you don't damage the undercarriage components of vehicles. Ten foot and 12' forks tips don't reach to the rear suspension and damage floor pans, gas tanks, rocker panels, and box sides when lifting vehicles. The handling of vehicles with 15' SAS FORKS™ when done properly will result in absolutely no damage!!! SAS FORKS™

MAINTENANCE
The forks are maintenance free. Should the blades be damaged or worn they may be individually replaced. The shoes and the blades have wear plates installed from the factory. Replacement wear plates are easily installed in the field.

LENGTH
We can make ANY size you prefer for YOUR operation. (4' to 17') For picking up vehicles from front to back we recommend 15' SAS FORKS™

OUTSIDE WIDTH
We can make ANY size you prefer for YOUR operation. For 15' SAS FORKS™ the width is 42". When picking up vehicles from front to back, this width of the SAS FORKS™ will fit under all standard production cars, both domestic and foreign.

RECOMMENDED LOADER SIZE
For lifting cars and light trucks with 15' SAS FORKS™ a loader of a 2 1/2 to 3 yard capacity will work fine. The loader should have a four point bucket attachment design. A three point bucket attachment design (center dump cylinder) will also work but is slightly more expensive for fork design and has lifting limitations above 9 feet. If you are considering buying a machine (Loader or Forklift) for moving vehicles and are considering purchasing SAS FORKS™, please contact us at 1-877-SAS-FORK before you purchase a machine. We can offer guidance in your selection of a machine that will best work for your needs.

METHOD OF MOUNTING
The forks are either direct coupled (pin to pin) or may be used in conjunction with "quick" couplers.

INSTALLATION
The installation is the responsibility of the owner, unless specifically quoted otherwise. Usual initial installation time for pin to pin mounting, excluding bucket removal is about 30 minutes. Fork assemblies with quick couplers install in only a matter of seconds.

PRODUCT QUALITY
SAS FORKS™ have been designed and marketed since 1977 without a single product failure.

LIMITED WARRANTY
One year material and labor limited warranty on all parts of the fork assembly.
Plus a 3 YEAR limited warranty on 15' SAS FORKS™ blades against breakage.
No warranties are expressed or implied as to the fitness of the equipment that the forks are installed on. Detail of warranty terms in SAS FORKS™ Operator Manual.

2. Adjustable forks, in our opinion, are very dangerous (for the application of moving cars and trucks). What happens in the work place is that adjustable forks tend to move together during daily operation, causing the load to become more tippy and unstable. Due to the difficulty of moving the forks apart, the operator rarely bothers to put the blades back into their proper position. Eventually, unless the operator moves the forks apart, you will wind up picking up cars and trucks with forks that are so close together, you may as well transport the vehicle with a single fork, a very dangerous thing to do.

3. Wide forks are not stronger. They are actually weaker, more prone to breaking and develop a tremendous amount of bounce. The sharp 90 degree bend in the wide forks make them prone to breaking at the bend. The long narrow SAS FORKS™ have been specifically designed for this application. The "J" shaped design with the full floating fork distributes the load uniformly to the loader carriage. They will lift heavier loads more times and do not bounce as you are transporting vehicles. These forks are harmonically de-tuned. One set has logged over 775,000 lifts.

4. Properly used 15' forks will never damage any auto or truck. Eviron a division of Ford Motor Company, recently purchased a set of our forks to move their units! Not a likely move if our forks damaged their vehicles!

5. Broad siding cars and trucks damages drive shafts and if the vehicles slip on the forks, doors are damaged, making the vehicle worth less to a salvage buyer. Handling vehicles front-to-rear cannot (when done properly) damage a vehicle in any manner.

6. The wider the forks, the harder it is to get under a vehicle because you will hit more objects hanging downward. The narrower the forks, the fewer things you will hit during entry, and the fewer things to hold you on the forks upon exit.
