IF/OFFSET Function not working properly

Currently I have been using this function plenty of times; however, when adding the additional if statements to the OFFSET it is causing errors. I have tried it multiple ways and simply want to drag down to retrieve the information for customers. The error it gives me now that I have a bunch of IF statements in it is: Formula Parse Error

Am I doing something wrong with this?

=IF(OFFSET('Travis Jones'!$E$9,(ROW('Travis Jones'!C1)-1)*12,0)=IF('Travis Jones'!$D$9*'Travis Jones'!$F$2)+4000,"1 Ton",IF('Travis Jones'!$D$9*'Travis Jones'!$F$2)+5500,"2 Ton",IF('Travis Jones'!$D$9*'Travis Jones'!$F$2)+5750,"2.5 Ton",IF('Travis Jones'!$D$9*'Travis Jones'!$F$2)+6000,"3 Ton",IF('Travis Jones'!$D$9*'Travis Jones'!$F$2)+6250,"3.5 Ton",IF('Travis Jones'!$D$9*'Travis Jones'!$F$2)+6500,"4 Ton",IF('Travis Jones'!$D$9*'Travis Jones'!$F$2)+6750,"4.5 Ton",IF('Travis Jones'!$D$9*'Travis Jones'!$F$2)+7000,"5 Ton",))

What are you trying to do with all these If() statements. I'm guessing that a Vlookup would be more appropriate, but it's hard to tell because your syntax is wrong.

Let's take out all the "'Travis Jones'!" and color to make the formula readable on the forum:

=IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)=IF($D$9*$F$2)+4000,"1 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+5500,"2 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+5750,"2.5 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+6000,"3 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+6250,"3.5 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+6500,"4 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+6750,"4.5 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+7000,"5 Ton",))

Now we can see you have many repeated IF($D$9*$F$2)s that don't parse:

=IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)=IF($D$9*$F$2)+4000,"1 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+5500,"2 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+5750,"2.5 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+6000,"3 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+6250,"3.5 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+6500,"4 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+6750,"4.5 Ton",IF($D$9*$F$2)+7000,"5 Ton",))

The IF function requires three arguments: =IF(Something_is_True, then_do_something, otherwise_do_something_else). Your IFs are each missing a second and third argument. I suspect you wanted to write something like this:
Code:
=IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)<=$D$9*$F$2+4000, 
  "1 Ton",
  IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)<=$D$9*$F$2+5500,
    "2 Ton",
    IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)<=$D$9*$F$2+5750,
      "2.5 Ton",
      IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)<=$D$9*$F$2+6000,
        "3 Ton",
        IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)<=$D$9*$F$2+6250,
          "3.5 Ton",
          IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)<=$D$9*$F$2+6500,
            "4 Ton",
            IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)<=$D$9*$F$2+6750,
              "4.5 Ton",
              IF(OFFSET($E$9,(ROW(C1)-1)*12,0)<=$D$9*$F$2+7000,
                "5 Ton",))))))))
