ABSTRACT:
A container 10 has walls 14 and a support member 16 in the form of a stacking bar. The bar 16 is mounted by a plate 20, slot 22 and pin 24 to move between different stacking positions providing multiple height stacking. At the lowest position shown, the weight of a container stacked on the bar 16 is transferred to the container wall 14 by a finger 40 at a higher position, where the container wall is stronger and thus better able to bear the weight.
