Forklift Load Backrest
Forklift Load Backrests for Class II Carriages and Industrial Safety Compliance
A forklift load backrest is a required safety component in virtually every warehouse and distribution environment, preventing cargo from shifting or falling backward onto the operator during travel or lift. As part of the broader forks and fork extensions category, Helmar Parts stocks a full range of Class II load backrests built to OSHA compliance standards and ready to ship.
Class II Load Backrests Across a Wide Range of Carriage Widths and Mounting Configurations
Helmar carries Universal and Nissan load backrests in side-bolt, full-bolt, and pre-drilled configurations spanning carriage widths from 31" to 39.4" and heights of 48", 60", and 72". Every backrest is manufactured from high-quality steel rated for heavy-duty industrial use and mounts directly to Class II forklift carriages. For oversized or unbalanced cargo, load backrest extensions are also available, providing additional coverage on elevated loads that exceed the standard backrest height.
Built for B2B Buyers Who Need the Right Part Fast
Helmar Parts ships most in-stock orders same day, with any order placed after 4:00 PM EST going out next business day, so a missing or damaged backrest does not become an extended downtime event. Bulk ordering is supported for fleet operators and repair shops managing multiple units.
