What is claimed is: 1. A delivery rack system comprising: a frame including: a side rail offset from a center axis, the side rail having a top surface, a first transverse rail disposed coplanar with the side rail and having a first top surface disposed coplanar with the top surface, the first transverse rail having first and second beams that are spaced apart and disposed substantially parallel to each other, and a second transverse rail having a second top surface disposed coplanar with the top surface and first top surface and spaced apart from the first transverse rail; first and second sets of rollers disposed on the first and second transverse rails, respectively; and a plurality of wheels supporting the frame; a locking mechanism having a spring assisted reset pedal disposed on the first transverse rail that is coupled to an elongate bar having a pivot lever that moves between a first position and a second position, and an actuator bar having a U-shaped portion that does not extend into the compartment when the pivot lever is in the first position and that extends into the compartment when the pivot lever is in the second position; wherein the side rail, first transverse rail, and second transverse rail cooperate to define a compartment; and wherein the center axis is disposed in a vertical plane that perpendicularly bisects the first and second transverse rails. 2. The delivery rack system of claim 1 further comprising first and second upright rails disposed proximate the first and second transverse rails, respectively, and a top rail extending between the first and second upright rails. 3. The delivery rack system of claim 2 further comprising a support rail having a first end disposed proximate the side rail and a second end disposed proximate the top rail. 4. The delivery rack system of claim 2 further comprising a support rail having a first end disposed proximate the first transverse rail and a second end disposed proximate the top rail. 5. The delivery rack system of claim 2 further comprising a support rail having a first end disposed proximate the side rail and a second end disposed proximate the first upright rail. 6. The delivery rack system of claim 2 further comprising a support rail having a first end disposed proximate the first transverse rail and a second end disposed proximate the first upright rail. 7. The delivery rack system of claim 1 further comprising a hook and a hook receptacle disposed outside the compartment along the center axis and proximate opposite ends of the frame. 8. The delivery rack system of claim 1 wherein at least one roller is downwardly offset relative to another roller. 9. A delivery rack system comprising: a frame including: a base having a side rail defining a first side of the frame, and first, second, and third transverse rails spaced apart from each other and extending from the side rail, first and second pivot levers having a spring assisted reset pedal, the first and second pivot levers being rotatably disposed on the first and third transverse rails, wherein the first and second pivot levers extend toward the second transverse rail when in a first position and do not extend toward the second transverse rail when disposed in a second position; first, second, and third upright rails extending from the first, second, and third transverse rails, respectively, the first, second and third upright rails at least partially defining a second side of the frame disposed opposite the first side, a top rail extending from the first, second, and third upright rails, and at least one support rail extending from the base at a first end and extending from the top rail at a second end; a plurality of wheels supporting the frame; and a plurality of rollers disposed on the first, second, and third transverse rails; wherein the side rail, first transverse rail, and second transverse rail cooperate to at least partially define a first compartment and the side rail, second transverse rail, and third transverse rail cooperate to at least partially define a second compartment; and wherein the side rail is generally coplanar with the first and second transverse rails and spaced apart from a center axis that substantially bisects the first transverse rail and the first compartment. 10. The delivery rack system of claim 9 wherein the at least one support rail further comprises first, second, and third support rails extending between the side rail and the top rail, the first support rail disposed adjacent to the first compartment, the second support rail disposed between the first and second compartments, and the third rail disposed adjacent to the second compartment. 11. The delivery rack system of claim 10 wherein the second support rail, second upright rail, and second transverse rail are disposed in a plane. 12. The delivery rack system of claim 9 wherein the side rail and the first, second, and third transverse rails are coplanar. 13. The delivery rack system of claim 9 wherein the first, second, and third upright rails extend away from the plurality of wheels. 14. The delivery rack system of claim 9 wherein the first compartment further comprises a first opening defined by the first upright rail, second upright rail, and top rail and the second compartment further comprises a second opening defined by the second upright rail, third upright rail, and top rail. 15. The delivery rack system of claim 9 wherein all compartment openings are disposed on a common side of the frame. 16. A delivery rack system comprising: a frame including: a side rail offset from a center axis and defining a first side of the frame, first, second, and third transverse rails spaced apart from each other and extending from the side rail, first, second, and third upright rails extending from the first, second, and third transverse rails, respectively, a top rail extending from the first, second, and third upright rails, and first, second, and third support rails extending between the side rail and the top rail; a plurality of wheels supporting the frame; and first and second L-shaped pivot levers having a spring assisted reset pedal, the first and second L-shaped pivot levers being rotatably disposed on the first and third transverse rails, wherein the first and second L-shaped pivot levers extend toward each other when in a first position and do not extend toward each other when disposed in a second position; wherein the side rail, first transverse rail, and second transverse rail cooperate to at least partially define a first compartment and the side rail, second transverse rail, and third transverse rail cooperate to at least partially define a second compartment; and wherein the center axis is disposed in a plane disposed parallel to the first and second upright rails that bisects the first and second compartments and the first and second transverse rails. 17. The delivery rack system of claim 16 further comprising a first set of rollers disposed on the first transverse rail and extending toward the first compartment, a second set of rollers disposed on the second transverse rail and extending toward the first compartment, a third set of rollers disposed on the second transverse rail and extending toward the second compartment, and a fourth set of rollers disposed on the third transverse rail and extending toward the second compartment. 18.
