U need to get it lifted a bit right there with A boom or skid steer Then side a sheet or 2 of 3/4 or 1 inch plywood under it. Then hook on and pull it out. The plywood will slide on the steel. Then hook on and pull it out with some up pressure with another skid steer. Tracks will work better. Then flip it over outside.

I would put something in between the top side of the skidsteer and the container, then slowly roll the entire thing upright with something to hold it from slamming to the ground.

Call Dave's in Union Iowa if not too far away. They righted my 40' gooseneck enclosed trailer after the dericho tipped it over. Was there maybe 10 minutes with a rotator, set it up with no more damage and charged me $800. They recover loaded containers from rolled semis all the time.

If you had it tied down good in the trailer it should still be right where it was when you drove it in minus the tipped over trailer. So if it pulled loose either the tie downs are not very good or it was not tied down well. 4 3/8 chains or 2 hooked to trailer then a binder on each leg so it makes a loose draped piece in the middle on each end then one over the bucket should be good if they are the G70 chains with adequate binders.

If I read the other post correctly they were used the container box as a storage shed to park the skid steer in and the wind storms blew it over

greed. Why would anybody chain down their machine in a storage shed??!!

I don't think you'll hurt the skid loader if you just pull in out slowly. Just look out for the widow maker upper door. Once outside stand it upright with a forklift or tractor with a chain.

Not unless it was on a ride across the pond.

They won't hurt the skid loader if they roll the container back upright either. It's not going to fall suddenly. Once the container gets about halfway back up where the sidewall is about 45 degrees to the ground, the loader will gently slide back down the wall to the floor. For sure a lot less violently than how it ended up in its current state.

You just need a way to control the roll. Two rednecks on 4020's with long chains charging across the field and slamming the container back upright is NOT the way to do it.

The container was on the ground, not on a trailer. It was being used as a storage shed for the skidsteer and firewood.
