While this is often done using a top lift container handler using a gantry spreader which requires a wheels (W) endorsement, sometimes forklifts are used because twenty-foot ISO shipping containers have two slots at the base for use with a forklift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shipping-container-being-lifted-by-crane-600x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shipping-container-being-lifted-by-crane-600x352.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shipping-container-being-lifted-by-crane-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shipping-container-being-lifted-by-crane-768x450.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shipping-container-being-lifted-by-crane-1536x900.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shipping-container-being-lifted-by-crane.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>This container is being lifted by a crane, but you can see the two slots at the bottom for a forklift, as are also visible on the containers stacked in the background.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/forklift-with-iso-container-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/forklift-with-iso-container-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/forklift-with-iso-container-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/forklift-with-iso-container-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/forklift-with-iso-container-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/forklift-with-iso-container-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Forklift carrying a container<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/container-handler-and-truck-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/container-handler-and-truck-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/container-handler-and-truck-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/container-handler-and-truck-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/container-handler-and-truck-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/container-handler-and-truck.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>A container handler without a load &#8211;
