Do you think it is possible for one average sized adult to lift a 14'
upright (ie. the side portion) of a pallet rack. I've needed pallet racks
in my shop for some time. Every once in a while, used pallet racks will
show up in my area on ebay or in the local paper for a reasonable price.
I have a forklift but no dock. I can't figure out how to unload them from
the truck. I don't think I can balance 14' on my forklift. I thought
about getting a boom attachment but new ones are around $700 including
shipping and I haven't seen any used ones. So before I hire professionals
and pay an arm and a leg, I'm wondering if it is possible to unload one
piece at a time by hand. Has anyone tried this?
I've assembled a few, they're typically not that heavy. If it is the usual
stuff it's made out of pretty thin steel.
