slid (from 'to slide')
I agree with Leif, that this is not really Norwegian, but I don't think it means 'skid' in this context. To me, skidding is something more accidental, rather than intentional as in this case.
I would propose 'slid' (to slide) in this particular case.

Example sentence:
The containers are slid in flush against the wall of the living accommodation. In this way we can avoid lifting them in with a crane.
Note from asker:
| The Norwegian is far from perfect and so is the English in the file, which is why I believe that the author meant "slide" and not "skid". Thank you for your help. |

skid
This is basically not Norwegian, probably taken more or less directly from English. The Norwegian meaning would be 'skyve' or 'sleide'.

Well, I did not intend to shoot you down :) I guess slide would also be perfectly understood in this context, but as long as the source seems to have stolen skid directly from English, it might be appropriate here.
