There are plenty of GOOD recommendations here. Let me suggest that whatever you choose - have the unit brought out to your operation and try it out - as a condition of final purchase. Operating any vehicle with a heavy and shifting load - variable terrain - and an unsteady vehicle - not a good thing.
There was a time I had to move a tank full of water - 750 gallons - from a loading dock to the back of a truck. This was done three or four times daily. The water tank was unbaffeled and the water would slosh around quite vigorously. It was a nightmare - the forklift was designed "for concrete only" and suffered mightily in this out-of-doors operation.
