    Whomever is in charge at that container yard needs to find out how these containers are being placed the way they are before they go broke. A bill from Pepe's where two rotators are utilized cannot be cheap.

    This looks to me, like a disgruntled crane operator, stacked these in defiance, and pretty ignorant thinking a conventional forklift would work. Looks to be empty, you could never stack a loaded container on a chassis on top of another, and don't you think the back with the wheels would be a bit heavier? Tubeless wheels, FINALLY!!!

    I think what this was, is due to space limitations, they had to start stacking empties on a chassis on top of one another, Not a particularly bad idea, and you can lift empty container boxes with a conventional forklift, but this doofus didn't account for the chassis. I bet they won't do that again.
