Do you have an M88? Do you have an PLS with 20 foot long flatrack? There not too many options if you don't have any of these equipment. If you have an PLS use the hook tie a chain to the conex lift one end and with another PLS push the flatrack under the conex little by little. if you have an M88 you could lift the conex straight off the ground about 3 feet, and just push the flatrack under the conex.

Without violating OPSEC, could you give the uninitiated some specifications? Weight, dimensions, etc.?

How far do you need to move them, over what terrain, and are there many turns?

Do you have any of the following equipment:
pallet jacks
hydrological jacks (and what weight rating?)
telephone poles or other uniform round lumber
large pry bars
pulleys
winches
