That's one hell of a fork lift, if you could even call it that.

Pins in the front and I don't really know what to call the rear support system. Basically the "pin" runs parallel with the container when it is set on the chassis. The "pin" sits above the opening when the container is set down. You turn a lever and the "pin" turns to perpendicular to the container to hold it in place. Later, QD.

Ive seen the cranes that take them off the ships, for some reason I thought a crane put them on the trailers as well.
