Abstract
A load carrying fork for use with an industrial truck is disclosed. The fork is of generally L-shaped configuration and has a thickened tapered outside heel section. The inside intersect of the vertical and horizontal shank of the fork defines an undercut of relatively large radius. The longitudinal axis of the undercut, which is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vertical and horizontal shanks, is slightly concave.
