Fork lift onto wagon presumably, but I don't know of one in Cumbria and it will need a metalled road.
How to shift a 23 ton shipping container?

Who and where in chesterfield? (Just being nosey)
As said above try spiralway. Based in chesterfield and have specialist heavy haulage gear. If they can’t they may well know someone who can

that will only be able to lift the box cant take it down road be over weight ,,, have in the past used these to lift and then back another skeleton trailer under for transport ,,,,,,,, try hansard haulage in lincs they go all over and sure they can hiab that weight
collett transport have the largest lorry mounted crane in the uk and it will lift 30 t at 4 meters so there is not going to be much choice for a 23t container being hiabed on or off at site

a 13 tonne container at 32 foot long will take a blood big hiab to lift it, needs to lift 13 tonne at 5 meters span minimum, that would be something like a 100 tonne / meter hiab don't think they would be plentiful at that size, that's if you could find one,
get them to lift it on to a general haulage firm and hire a crane to lift it off, yes it will cost, but might be cheapest option in long run,
It says on video 36 ton I didn't know about being 10 ft 6 wide. container with genny is 23 ton so should be ok weight wise

5 loadalls each side, all lift together and reverse trailer under, simple

Well you say that.............
The problem I have is that I am placing the genny on a site about 100m into a field.
I have dug out the access track and approx site for the machine but to dig out and stone an area to allow artic entrance/turning and an area for a crane to stand on could well spiral to , well far more than I thought anyway, bound to be 5k, maybe 10?
I did wonder about a flat to a crane then a lad nearby has a fastrac and plant trailer rated for 30 ton.
It will access the site far more easily than a wagon will and would be easier to tow if it came to that.
His trailer is low to the ground so lift the back of the container off the trailer slightly andpull back onto jacks or earth , then lift front of container and pull out.
Lifting one half at a time between 2 diggers is approx 11.5 ton between them which I would have thought they might manage?
The other option is to buy an old flat bed or low loader and leave the thing on it?

It would take a big digger to lift 11.5 ton
Maybe a cheap trailer and leave it on, but just be careful it doesn't sink and tumble over
I'd ring the man I already suggested, I'd be amazed if he can't do it , I once asked where he could get his lorry to and he said if I can get there in my car he will get his lorry there

Should be enough money in the job, and do it properly then,
Rather than cut costs and corners, surely end client has full RAMS in position.

Full RAMS?

Thinking a wee bit latterly here, could you put the crane down the track with enough reach to lift of the artic on the road, swing the container round 170 degrees and lower to ground, resite crane and repeat till on site?

Corners transport can do it link Corners just messaged him to see if he could and he has the capability. Good professional firm.

just buy a crappy old artic flat trailer and get the containe firm to load it at their end.
Then just dig a 5 foot deep hole 9 foot wide in the field with a bit of stone in the bottom and a ramp leading down to it.
Then just reverse the trailer in there and backfill the ramp
