Abstract: A work implement frame having a top support and a bottom support. The top support and bottom support are tied together structurally by end plates and/or vertical ribs. One or more fork tines may be combined with the top or bottom support of the frame and are adapted to carry pallets or other loads as is know in the art. The frame includes a load rest to help support the load. The load rest is typically positioned near the top of the frame. A gate in the load rest is movable between an open position and a closed position. In its open position an operator may pass through the gate to enter the cab. The gate may be pivotally or slidably combined with the load rest.
