Abstract (en)

A plastics container (10) comprises a base (16), a pair of side walls (18) and a pair of end walls (20). The side and end walls comprise a pair of parallel surfaces (22, 24) connected together and re-inforced by cross pieces (26) which extend in the direction of mould movement. The walls are thus reinforced by projections but unencumbered by re-inforcing on both their interior and exterior surfaces which are entirely smooth. Insulation material (82) is inserted between the surfaces of the walls. The end walls (20) extend below the base (16) to leave a gap (40) therebelow, into which gap the forks of a fork lift truck can be inserted to permit the container to be carried thereby. The side walls (18) taper at the entrance to the gap to provide a lead-in surface for the forks. A high wear-resistant, high density polyethylene plate (46) is provided at such tapered portion to protect it. <IMAGE>
