Maybe so - I looked around on practical machinist and on some of the website before making that statement and found that few items that really looked like forklifts were available that had load capacities under 3-5K, so those probably weight about 2x their load capacity. the kind of ride-behind pallet movers aren't really forklifts, but obviously do come with lighter duty availability. For reference, a pallet of bottled water weighs about 2000lbs. and most big box stores would rather operate forklifts with some capacity overhead.
