ABSTRACT:
A bottom-unloading bulk container having a bottom closure and having a top closure that includes flaps hinged to the body walls. Openings in the side walls are proportioned to receive the tines of a forklift truck. These openings are located a predetermined distance below the top edge of the sidewalls, and longitudinal wooden slats are located just above these sidewall openings. Bands encircle the body and the top and bottom closures at locations just interior of the sidewall openings. The container can be filled through an inlet provided by partly unfolding the top flaps after banding. After reaching its destination, the filled container can be lifted and transported to an unloading location by a forklift truck whose tines extend through the sidewalls openings and its contents dumped through the bottom opening upon release of the encircling bands.
