LAYOVER BRACKET SYSTEM

A method comprises providing a layover bracket system having an industrial vehicle supported thereon in a horizontal position. The layover bracket system includes a base section removably attached to a first portion of the vehicle at a first location, and an extension section pivotably coupled to the base section and removably attached to a second portion of the vehicle at a second location spaced apart in a first direction from the first location. The first direction is parallel to a vertical axis of the vehicle when positioned in an upright position. The method further comprises transitioning the vehicle from the horizontal position to the upright position by rotating the layover bracket system with the vehicle supported thereon relative to a floor surface, and detaching the extension section of the layover bracket system from the second portion of the vehicle. In addition, the method includes pivoting the extension section relative to the base section and detaching the base section of the layover bracket system from the first portion of the vehicle.
