Abstract (en)

A container (10) is nestable within identical containers (10) when empty for efficient storage and shipping. A pair of supports or bails (18) can be pivoted to a position over the floor of the container so that a similar container (10') can be supported thereon. The supports (18) are supported on multiple points on each side wall (14) of the containers, so that the load is distributed more evenly to the side walls (14). A support or bail (18) is disclosed which has a projection (36) to provide lateral stacking support. A container (10) with several stacking heights is disclosed.
