Steel load backrests are designed to prevent the load from falling toward the equipment driver. This allows product to rest against a square, flat surface that makes loading/unloading safe.
These OSHA required backrests feature a steel grid area above the forks. Heavy-duty steel framing secures attachment to sides of forklift carriage.
All load backrests are either bolt-on or slip-on style. Special backrests, such as notched center and electric pallet truck backrests, are available upon request.
Load backrests are manufactured to order based on the certain specifications. Give us a call to talk about your needs when it comes to backrests and other forklift attachments.
Determining the carriage class for your forklift is as easy as measuring the height of the carriage. See the examples below.
If A=16″ then it is a Class 2 (II) carriage
If A=20″ then it is a Class 3 (III) carriage
If A=25″ then it is a Class 4 (IV) carriage
