ABSTRACT:
A container for transportation has a base portion 10, a ceiling portion 20, shutters 30, 30 . . . to be wound up in the ceiling portion 20 and end plates 40, 40, provided with columns 43, 43 at its both sides, which are connected to the ceiling portion 20 so as to be folded up and received in the ceiling portion 20. In compacting the container in non-use, the shutters are lifted up to the ceiling, and the ceiling portion 20 is lifted up from the base portions 10. Then, the ceiling portion is lowered whereby the end plates 40, 40 can be folded, along with the columns 43, 43, under the ceiling portion by utilizing the deadweight of the ceiling portion 20. The container for transportation simplifies folding operations and reassembling operations, and reduces labor cost.
