I used to work in a transload facility in St Paul Minnesota. We ran 6 5000 lb lifts and two 15,000 lb forklifts. The 5000 lb forklifts were for unloading box cars and pulling orders for customers. The two 15,000 lb forks were used for unloading flat cars they could unload 5 bunks of 2x4's at a time or 3 20' bunks of 2x 6's We operated two turn outs serviced by the MInnesota Comercial railway. All forklifts were used to load and unload trucks. I hope this answered some questions.
