Doubt it would pick up a container out in front of the wheels. About 750kg on the extending forks will tip it , which would be about the load centre of a steel container

The big moffets with the sliding mast and jack legs do way better that 750kg. There are so many different options for moffets you have to careful but if you find the right one they will pick up a huge amount. The big ones weigh over 5t.

Mine is a 20.3. Weighs 2300kg and will lift and carry 2000kg in close, 750 kg on the extending forks with the mast out will be enough.. never seen a 5000kg moffett.. we talking about same thing?

I mean a truck mounted forklift.
They do some bloody big ones.
Just checked the website and the biggest is 5.9t with a 3.5t lift capacity.
My old boss had 4 for delivering bale's. Despite only having two lorries. The smallest one was designed for a 7.5t lorry was pretty pointless. The biggest was ex fire brigade on flotation tractor tyres. It would go anywhere. But didn't fit my lorry as the mounting bracket held it too low to the ground. The nicest to drive was a smallish Manitou with the telescopic boom. Not the lift capacity of the moffets but alot more useful with telescopic boom.
