The recently developed European flaw assessment procedure SINTAP (structural integrity assessment procedure, EU-project BE 95-1462) was applied to the failure analysis of a broken fork of a forklift and to predict the critical size of cracks on both sides of a bore hole in a fork of a forklift. Assuming loading by the design load an overall critical crack size (including both cracks and the hole) of 35.6 mm was predicted at the highest analysis level whereas the real fork broke in service after the overall crack size had reached a length of 45.5 mm. By this result it was shown that inadequate design was sufficient to explain the failure without any need to imply further reasons such as inadequate handling of the forklift in service.
