LAYOVER BRACKET SYSTEM

A method for transitioning an industrial vehicle between an upright position and a horizontal position using a layover bracket system. The method comprises removably attaching a base section of the layover bracket system to a first portion of the vehicle at a first location and pivoting an extension section of the layover bracket system with respect to the base section. The method further comprises removably attaching the extension section of the layover bracket system to a second portion of the vehicle at a second location, where the extension section is pivotably coupled to the base section and the second location is spaced apart in a first direction from the first location. In the method, the first direction is parallel to a vertical axis of the vehicle when positioned in the upright position. The method then comprises transitioning the vehicle from the upright position to the horizontal position by rotating the vehicle and the layover bracket system relative to a floor surface.
