I would like to introduce you to the concept for kinetic energy. Force=Mass*Acceleration
A very heavy object moving at slow speeds can easily have the same energy or more as a lighter object going moderately fast.
Forklift accidents also typically involve unsecured loads rather than just a collision between two objects. The collision is often an instigating factor that causes a poorly secured loads to fall and injure either the driver or a passerby.

Kinetic energy is ½mv², meaning it grows much quicker with speed than mass
Is that how it works? I thought that while have been comparable (but I click Next for a job)
Appreciate it, been a minute since physics class
