As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the rack 10 also defines two openings 30 extending in the lateral direction, from one lateral end of the base 22 to the opposite lateral end of the base 22, for receiving a fork of the lifting machine along the lateral direction. In other embodiments, the openings 30 may be omitted.
