There are two box openeings cut through each side of the trailer and a strap welded across the support beams to "catch the end of the forks. Corrosion isn't a problem.

I attached a picture that shows the fork openings. The picture was taken during the construction phase. Would anyone like to see more pictures from start to finish?
