      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.

      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.
