This is trailer loads of green coffee beans being unloaded at the New Orleans dock.
Folgers has a silo on dock property. They unload the trailers into the silo for storage.
Once the roasting plant has room they load the green beans into tankers and haul it from this dock warehouse to the roasting plant in town. The beans are then roasted and packaged for distribution across the country.
The trailer in the foreground is just a regular trailer. They line the walls and floor with cardboard. Then they load it with large burlap sacks full of beans. With the cardboard liner they can just dump the sacks out the back.
The container in the background has 1 large bag in it the size of the container. They just open the door and cut the bag open and dump the beans out the back.
The floor has a grate covered well where the rear of the trailers are.
