> Allowing stacking over 2 high is only useful if you have the equipment to stack over 2 high. These are empty containers that are getting unloaded and stacked in order to free up the truck and its chassis for another load. The equipment for doing that stacking/unstacking is called an Empty Container Stacker [1]. These are different from a Reach Stacker [2] which will have much less vertical reach and are also different from Container Cranes [3].

Okay, how many empty container stackers are there in LA county?

  Plenty. That isn't actually the important question or rather important problem. The storage yards are currently stacked X x Y x 2 and now they need to be re-stacked into something like X x (Y / 2) x 4 to free up space for more empties but that re-stacking has to happen from the edges. That will take a little time.

    A couple strategic gaps between the stacks could make this process go much faster. The short-sighted lack of these gaps could make things slow going.

      You only need a single lane free. You start on one side of the yard, and stack it to 6, then work your way across the yard building rows.
