Abstract
An apparatus and method are disclosed for repositioning fallen loads. In particular, the device mounts on the fork lift and has a pair of crossbars mounted on the fork lift receiving tubes. The cross members have a height greater than the thickness of the crossbars on the rack system. The fork lift operator engages the bottom surface of the pallet load with the upper surface of the cross members and lifts the pallet load until it is clear of the crossbars whereupon the load is repositioned properly.
