4 mins confidence:

chunking?

Explanation:
If this refers to the breaking off of sections of a flat surface that sits proud of another surface or groove.

"Chunking" is frequently used to refer to abnormal tire wear, in which small or large chunks of the tread break away from the tire, rather than gradually wearing away.

Maybe this will help jog your imagination...

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for your reply. I can definitely see how "chunking" would be an appropriate translation. However, in this case, it seems that the term "肩欠け" was erroneous itself. Another answerer recommended "角欠け" with a translation of "corner chipping". Much to my surprise, the client preferred this term...

7 mins confidence:

in forklifts

1 hr confidence:

shoulder drop-off

Explanation:
This is not my field, but a bit of research on the web suggests that 肩欠け is short for 路肩欠壊, for example:
http://www.kensetsu.metro.tokyo.jp/suigai_kiroku/s50/500610_...

and that in English this is called shoulder drop-off or pavement drop-off.
http://www.crashforensics.com/papers.cfm?PaperID=26

Also, カッター目地 appears to be 'tooled contraction joint'
http://www.concretenetwork.com/concrete-joints/contraction-j...

So カッター目地の肩欠け would be something like 'shoulder drop-off at a tooled contraction joint'.

Presumably the subject of the sentence is something that helps to prevent this happening, particularly in areas where forklifts or the like are used intensively.
