As I recall, cranes don't load containers onto chassis for outbound drivers, only for the driver to get them to the place where they stack the containers and then a very large forklift moves them onto the stack. The same forklift will place the containers onto the chassis for the driver picking it up for delivery.
You're only going to see the cranes moving when a ship is in port, loading or unloading the ship.
