OK it looks like moving a shop via a conex box is a
good way to go. What's the best way to insure the
contents

And how are things such as machine tools best secured for shipping,
skidded and crated I assume but then what's used to tie them down
once loaded?

About all I know about them conex containers other than them being
made of steel is that they are some hot SOB's to spend any time
in......As a youngin in the US Army, I had the pleasure to spend a bit
over 24 hours locked in one when the MP's made a raid to some offbase
establishments I happened to be patronizing back in southeast aisa at
that time.........The provost marshal routinley used them as holding
cells. They even had an entire prison madeout of them at an
installaton called Long Binh......was called Silver City, as they were
painted silver......but yu had to tbe really hard core to get stuck in
Silver City, not a young drunk looking for some tail in off limit
establishments like most of us did.

I used 1000 kg rated ratchet tie down straps to secure my stuff,
all heavy stuff in centre, lathe lashed one side, mill the other.
