It's a good idea it could do with a forward and reverse buttons eg like a taillift but a lot of companies now are starting to buy jcb teletruk forklifts which have extentendable forks which can do that job because the jcb teletruk can extend its forks in to the 2nd and 3rd pallet and lift them off the deck eg if those 3 pallets were 6 half pallets etc the jcb teletruk can extend its forks and lift the 5th pallet on the headboard off the 6fh pallet which is on the deck on the headboard and pull the 5th half pallet out and leave the 6th pallet where it was on the headboard which is a bit clever as it usually can only be done otherwise by pulling the 5th and 6th half pallets out to the end of the van then using a traditional counterbalance forklift to take the 5th half pallet off and then push the 6th half pallet back to the headboard where it was originally - there is a video on TH-cam of the jcb teletruk doing exactly this manoeuvre - they are expensive but they do save a lot of time as they can also unload a truck from just one side as it can extend forks to unload both sides of the truck from one side etc
How much does this system cost? Where is it available? Right now I use a forklift to push the 3 pallets in and then I just attach a chain around each pallet from the forklift and drag them to the back then lift them out. Also when I deliver they don't always have a forklift so I just hand bomb each box out.

Friends, I am getting a 3500XD and was curious if there is a system that would allow me to fit three US pallets inside?
Foremost in Calgary, Alberta is selling them. Not sure about the price
