Abstract (en)

A collapsible material handling container (10) of the type for packaging, shipping and inventorying goods including a base (12) having a plurality of sides (30,32), a pair of opposed sidewalls (14), and a pair of end walls (16). Each of the walls (14,16) are hingedly connected to the base (12) and movable between a collapsed position wherein the walls (14,16) are folded one on top of the other and an upright position wherein the walls (14,16) extend vertically upward from the base (12). Base sides (30) define a pair of acutely angled ramping surfaces (72) for supporting at least one of the end walls (16) along the ramping surface (72) at an angle to the horizontal when the end wall (16) is in its collapsed position. <MATH>
