The fork lifting test is shown schematically in Figure 4. The test method permits flexibility of distribution of load
in both the length and width of the pallet, but for use as determination of ultimate load the symmetry in
Figure 4 shall be used. The supports shall conform to Figure 1, but their support plates are of double width.
The support distances may be either 570 mm or 690 mm. The shorter of the two distances that occur during
pallet use shall be used in the test.
