The container is delivered and resting on eight pads made up of a pair
of 4 inch solid concrete blocks. For the most part not all are
touching but if there is any settling the open ones will start taking
the load
When it is time to ship the container, how hard is it
for a shipper to pick it up off the concrete pads? Is
this a "standard procedure" or "time to rent a special
crane" or "something else"?

Easy to pick up. For non port pickup and delivery of containers
hydraulic tilting flatbed trailers with big winches are the norm. They
could very easily drag the container onto the trailer as is, or for a
little more refinement jack the container off the blocks and onto some
pipe rollers first.

I have never seen a container pickup, so I did not know what
is involved.
