ABSTRACT:
A container system includes interchangeable components to form an enclosed container. A base in the form of a pallet, a sidewall and a cover are assembled to form an enclosed container. The containers include nesting portions on the pallet and cover so that containers may be stacked when assembled and the components may also be stacked when in storage and nest to resist lateral sliding. The sidewalls include a first embodiment with single wall construction and a second embodiment with double wall construction. The walls are a corrugated plastic construction and include spaced apart reinforcing rods extending into the flutes. The double wall sidewall includes an inner wall with vertically extending flutes having reinforcing rods inserted into spaced apart ones of the flutes while the outer wall has horizontally extending flutes with one or more reinforcing rods inserted therein to provide added strength. The two versions of the sidewall are interchangeable and nest into receiving channels formed in the cover and the pallet.
