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?
