ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a lifting fork for lifting pallets, panels, panel stacks, and the like, and comprises a fork carrier, the lower end of which supports lifting prongs, and the upper end of which is attachable to a linking piece which has a pendulous axis for the pendulous mounting of the lifting fork. According to the invention, the lifting fork is distinguished by the fact that a swivel device is provided by which all the lifting prongs are able to be swiveled, in the unloaded state, about a common axis which is located parallel to the pendulous axis of the linking piece and parallel to the insertion direction in which the lifting prongs are insertable under a pallet, panels, or a panel stack, or the like.
