The container is going to be on a truck at the packing site.  How do you get pallets into the back end of it?  How do you stack them?

If you could overcome that, where would the forklift/pallet jack come from, and how would you get them to the packing site?

That's unfortunate if it's indeed the case.

Here in Australia a container would normally be dropped off on site, loaded, then collected again by the transport company.

It's critical when ordering a container to know which side of the truck the container will be coming off of, and tell them which end you want the door.

You typically pay per day for a container, so prioritising loading and unloading is critical.

For the melon bins (they have countless names) I mentioned you would put the bins in the container, on pallets (plastic is easier for quarantine) and load the books from the storage locker into the container. The crew doing it may need wheel barrows or trolleys to speed this process up depending upon how close the container is dropped to the storage locker.

20' container are sometimes delivered and picked up by tilt tray style tow trucks - you don't want this! For something like this you want a side lifter.

When it arrives get it dropped next to a shed or similar, and bring the bins out with a forklift or pallet jack.

I have no idea where you intend to put them once they arrive, but consider getting them unloaded at a warehouse then delivered either 1 at a time or all at once.

Not a recommendation, but an example: https://www.hoxtonindustries.com.au/packaging-solutions/container-unloading/

Its normal to put pallets in a container/truck and stack them. But yeah you'd need a forklift and either a ramp or a loading dock to do it.

Drewbie:

Problem is many storage facilties will NOT allow you to dump a container anywhere on their site for loading/unloading. They want it able to be moved at any time hence having to stay on the truck.

One option further complicating things would be to load into bins at the storage locker entrance, then pallet jack to a box truck with a tail lift. The box truck (longer than 20ft to hold all the unstacked bins) then takes the bins to the container exporters facility and they're stacked into the container there.

Melon crates would be a great option as they're plastic but stackable?
