Some facts:
1) Container Height: 8'6". Add approx 4" for the lift slots on the bottom.
2) Forklift with 22' lift available from Sunbelt = 3 Container Height / 50% increase in yard capacity https://www.sunbeltrentals.com/equipment/detail/1044/0550320 https://www.sunbeltrentals.com/equipment/detail/1044/0550320...
3) Common "construction" type forklift with 39' lift from United Rentals = 4 Container Height / 100% increase in yard capacity. https://www.unitedrentals.com/marketplace/equipment/forklift https://www.unitedrentals.com/marketplace/equipment/forklift...
And United has forklifts with even higher reach available.

- CodeWriter23 5y agoWe lift empty containers with smaller forklifts at my place of employment. The target for this problem space is stacking empty not full containers.
