1. A pallet truck backrest assembly for handling half-size pallets comprising: a backrest attachable to a pallet truck and extending above a first fork and a second fork of the pallet truck,a first half-size pallet support pivotally coupled to the backrest at a first height relative to a bottom surface of the backrest, the first half-size pallet support pivoting between a first position against the backrest and a second position extending over the first fork of the pallet truck at a first support surface height; anda second half-size pallet support pivotally coupled to the backrest at a second height relative to the bottom surface of the backrest, the second height being less than the first height, the second half-size pallet support pivoting between a first position against the backrest and a second position extending over the second fork of the pallet truck at a second support surface height;wherein the backrest comprises: an outer frame;a grid structure secured to the outer frame such that the backrest defines a nest weldment for receiving the first and second half-size pallet supports;a first door movably coupled to the backrest and having a closed position and an open position, wherein the first door encloses the first half-size pallet support when the first half-size pallet support is in the first position against the backrest; anda second door movably coupled to the backrest and having a closed position and an open position, wherein the second door encloses the second half-size pallet support when the second half-size pallet support is in the first position against the backrest. 2. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 1 further comprising: a first latching assembly for securing the first half-size pallet support to the backrest when the first half-size pallet support is in the first position against the backrest; anda second latching assembly for securing the second half-size pallet support to the backrest when the second half-size pallet support is in the first position against the backrest. 3. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 2 wherein the first latching assembly comprises a first backrest latch member and an inter-mating first half-size pallet support latch member and the second latching assembly comprises a second backrest latch member and an inter-mating second half-size pallet support latch member. 4. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 1 further comprising: a first prop assembly movable from a collapsed position against the first half-size pallet support to a deployed position extending from the first half-size pallet support to the first fork of the pallet truck; anda second prop assembly movable from a collapsed position against the second half-size pallet support to a deployed position extending from the second half-size pallet support to the second fork of the pallet truck. 5. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 4 wherein the collapsed position of the first prop assembly is within the first half-size pallet support and the collapsed position of the second prop assembly is within the second half-size pallet support. 6. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 4 wherein said first prop assembly comprises: a first prop leg pivotally connected at a first end to the first half-size pallet support; anda first control rod pivotally connected to the backrest and pivotally connected to the first prop leg so that as the first half-size pallet support is pivoted from the first position to the second position, the first prop assembly is moved from the collapsed position to the deployed position; and said second prop assembly comprises: a first prop leg pivotally connected at a first end to the second half-size pallet support; anda second control rod pivotally connected to the backrest and pivotally connected to the second prop leg so that as the second half-size pallet support is pivoted from the first position to the second position, the second prop assembly is moved from the collapsed position to the deployed position. 7. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 6 wherein said first prop assembly further comprises: a second prop leg pivotally connected at a first end to the first half-size pallet support and pivotally connected to the first control rod so that as the first half-size pallet support is pivoted from the first position to the second position, the first prop assembly including the first prop leg and the second prop leg is moved from the collapsed position to the deployed position; andthe second prop assembly further comprises:a second prop leg pivotally connected at a first end to the second half-size pallet support and pivotally connected to the second control rod so that as the second half-size pallet support is pivoted from the first position to the second position, the second prop assembly including the first prop leg and the second prop leg is moved from the collapsed position to the deployed position. 8.

The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 8 wherein the assistance mechanism comprises at least one gas spring that is coupled between an underside of each of the first and second half-size pallet supports and their respective first and second control rods. 10. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first and second doors each comprise a handle assembly, each handle assembly comprising a recessed handle attached to a respective one of the first and second doors and a first tab extending from the backrest, wherein each recessed handle engages a respective one of the first tabs to secure the first and second doors to the backrest in the closed position. 11. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 10 wherein the first and second half-size pallet supports each comprise a first opening extending through a thickness and corresponding to the respective first tab such that the first tabs extend through a respective one of the first openings when the first and second half-size pallet supports are in the first position against the backrest. 12. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 11 wherein: the backrest further comprises a second tab extending from the backrest; andthe first and second half-size pallet supports each comprise a second opening extending through a thickness and corresponding to the respective second tab such that the second tabs extend through a respective one of the second openings when the first and second half-size pallet supports are in the first position against the backrest;wherein the first and second tabs are configured to provide support to the first and second doors when the first and second doors are in the closed position. 13. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first and second doors are each formed to conform to a shape defined by an outline of the outer frame of the backrest. 14. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a central column secured to at least one of the nest weldment and the outer frame and extending above the first and second forks, wherein the central column is located along a centerline of the pallet truck and is positioned between the first and second half-size pallet supports. 15. The pallet truck backrest assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first and second doors are substantially parallel to the backrest when in the closed position. 16.
