A method of removing at least one fork from a forklift carriage includes placing a guard on the forklift carriage to interpose the at least one fork between the forklift carriage and the guard, uncoupling the at least one fork from the forklift carriage at a first coupling location, positioning the at least one fork uncoupled from the forklift carriage at the first coupling location in a fork rack, removing the guard from the forklift carriage, and removing the at least one fork from the forklift carriage. Fork racks, methods, and systems for removing, replacing, and/or storing forks provide additional advantages.
