Unless they are narrow fronts, it will be a tight fit. For narrow fronts, back the first in, drive the second straight in, etc. For wide fronts, remove drawbars, offset each a little so the front wheels of one will pass the rear tires of one ahead. You can only try.
The container should have 6-8 tiedowns welded along both sides of the floor edge, and possibly the same at the wall top. And remember, the containers are NOT 8' wide inside, more like 7'8".
They may not be 40' inside, either; never measured length. Not sure, but the shipping co. may give you several days to load .
Are you shipping or storing? Who will reassemble the front ends if shipping?
After my '60 Cub was stolen and retrieved, I stuck it in a container for safe keeping.
