it is easier/faster/cheaper to send forklifts an extra few meters for each pallet than have the switcher move the loaded car?

Absolutely! Having operated a forklift at a warehouse that's exactly the way we unloaded trailers.You see it was easier for me to drive to the next loaded trailer and unload it then have the driver to unhook from the dock lock and move 2-3 doors so I could unload him..As far as rail cars NS switched the warehouse once a day.
