Forklift Loadable vs Non-Forklift Lodable

Loading a rack with a forklift requires a design that allows the load to be left on the rack and the forklift forks to be removed easily. Below are two photos each of forklift loadable and non-forklift loadable racks. The advantage of the non-forklift loadable rack is the secondard long bar on top that makes it easy to tie ladders and other cargo the the side of the rack for security.

Forklift Loadable Rack. Notice the load cross bars over bed are higher than the long bar so forklift forks can exit after depositing load
