I find it hard to envision too but they use really heavy duty forklifts,
They don't look more than 1000lb and they gotta lift 40 ft box which weigh 8000lb so it's a wonder they don't tip over. Or the hydraulics don't leak. I agree those truck drivers are awesome. The first thing they do when they arrive to the site is clear the box off the trailer which much be sitting about 4ft off the ground.
Which beg my question about the next level?? If you wanted to place the container 7 feet off the ground so to use the space underneath as a carport- gotta have crane for that? How much would it cost? Any cheaper alternative??
