Because the old rack system was sized to accommodate pallet loads that used to be built with a lower height, bending forks cause the new, higher built, heavier, pallet load to sometimes "hang-up" when it is withdrawn or deposited. The higher loads hang-up routinely with all but the most precise of skilled operators.

Is there a certain brand or design of forks that bend less than others? Is there another alternative other than replacing the racks or taking the time-consuming effort that would be needed to train operators to have more precision when working in the racks?

Thank you.
