Abstract
A pallet return assembly includes at least one support member, a bracket member, a base member including a stopper member, and a lever that, when actuated, moves the base member and its stopper member from a pallet catch position to a pallet release position. In the pallet catch position, the stopper member catches a bottom of a pallet positioned on the roller tracks of the pallet bay and restricts the pallet from moving along the roller tracks. In the pallet release position, the stopper member no longer catches the bottom of the pallet positioned on the roller tracks and no longer restricts the pallet from moving along the roller tracks.
