An experienced operator should be able to tell the difference between picking up an empty container and picking up one with 16 tonnes, plenty of machines have scales on board to identify the weight.

It does look like operator error, in that the operator failed to identify the weight as he should with each new lift, then lower the load before relocation it, even empty containers should not be transported with extended boom and at more than the necessary height.
