By all rights, Clark shouldn't have been able to lift
the shipping container, no matter how strong he was.
The metal of the structure hadn't been designed to take
its entire twenty six ton weight compressd onto the
minuscule area of two human hands. The metal should
have torn like tissue paper in his hands.

Clark's best guess was that the same thing that
allowed him to protect Lois from the wind and cold of
moving at supersonic speeds also allowed him to
better distribute the weight of a relatively massive
structure. Spread thin, it didn't protect the object he
was holding against anything but its own weight.
