Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0223499A2] A one-piece formed base (l) for a container which is preferably formed by means of vacuum forming or spin- or blow-moulding is provided, an upper face of which provides a platform forming the base of a container, the lower end of the side wall(s) (ll,l3) of which is/are located in a continuous peripheral groove (5) in the upper face of the platform (l). On its underside the base is provided with pairs of parallel intersecting channels (7) providing multi-way entry for the forks of a forklift truck. The container can be made of heavy duty fibreboard and be provided with a traditional lid, and is normally fitted with an internal liner bag so that it can be used for powders, granular material and the like. The platform may be dished (30) so that its centre can rest on a support surface and the container may be square, rectangular or of any other shape, such as octagonal.
