      1000 forks plus packaging is 4lbs.

      250 forks per pound.

      Standard forklift capacity is 5000lbs.

      250 x 5000 = 1,250,000 forks.

      Maybe slightly realistically and safely, due to load height and placement restrictions, let’s just call it between 750,000 and 1,000,0000 forks.

      Forks can fork a lot of forks. Fork.

        You’re definitely going to run into a size limit before you hit the weight limit with something that light and bulky.

        Better math would be to measure the dimensions of a case and count how many cases fit on a standard 3’ x 4’ pallet stacked eight feet high.

          96 cubic feet in a pallet stacked 8’.

          580 cubic inches for a box of 1000 forks.

          286,000 forks. That’s still a fork ton.

          Over load in a bit on the sides or get a 4×4 pallet and we reach 410,000 forks.

          Maybe I should sleep now.

      Evidently at least one.

      If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say anything between 5 and 50,000 depending on packaging. Too many loose ones would just fall off before it could complete the lift.

        what if you made boxes out of interlocking forks, like fork cages? then you could put mad forks, inside forks, lift them all up with this here forklift.
