Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9831596A1] A container (110) is formed to nest with a like container when the wo containers are in a first relative orientation. The containers may stack when turned through 180 DEG relative to each other. Stacking bars (112) can be stowed in the floor of the container, or raised to allow stacking at an intermediate height. According to the invention, hooks (152) are formed integally with the stacking means (112) and the container is formed so that when a container is nested into a container below, the hooks (152) of the upper container are released by the nesting action, allowing the stacking means (112) to hinge down to their stowed position.
