Greetings!
Please advise me on a suitable forklift as I've been looking for it for months now. The problem is that the load is quite large.

Forklift has to lift the load that is:
width- 75 inches
height- 24 inches
length- 114 inches
The weight of the load - 4,850 lb
The loads will be stacked on top of each other and would need to be lifted up to 150-178 inch.

Please advise on forklift capacity. Few dealers calculated the suitable forklift but there estimates where ranging anywhere from 5000lb to 12000lb.

Thank you!
