Never used them before and was wondering if the resistance to bending is as good as the fork itself ? In other words, say you have a 5,000 lb capacity forklift with 6 foot forks and you lift a Brideport mill by the ram that sitting in the middle of a semi trailer. Now with the 6 foot forks, you could do this easily...the forks would bend some but would spring back to original position once you set the mill down.
But say you have the same forklift, but with 4 foot forks and you use a 6 foot fork extension (and I'm talking proper "store bought" ones...like from a material handling supply) to do the same thing. Would the extension handle the weight without getting a permanent bend in it, just as well as the "real" forks ?
