    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.
