Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011161640A1] This invention relates to a bottom discharge container (10), and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a bottom discharge container (10) suitable for being handled by a container handling arrangement. The bottom discharge container (10) includes a pair of opposed end walls (12), a pair of opposed side walls (13) connected to the end walls (12) so as to form an enclosure (14), and an at least partially displaceable floor (15) which is displaceable between a raised, closed position in which it extends across a bottom of the enclosure so as to form a base of the container (10), and a lower, open position in which at least part of the floor (15) is displaced away from the bottom of the enclosure (14) so as to define a discharge opening in the bottom of the container (10) for discharging a load from the container (10). The container (10) also includes a floor displacement arrangement (20) adapted to be automatically engageable by the door actuating mechanism of the container handling arrangement in order to open and/or close the displaceable floor (15).
