ABSTRACT:
A container structure includes a pair of telescopic leg assemblies externally mounted vertically on its rear wall, a telescopic leg assembly externally mounted vertically on each of its side walls in forward locations thereon rearwardly displaced from the front wall of the container structure so as to provide the latter with a cantilever front end, a swivel caster at the end of the leg of each leg assembly and swivel casters mounted on the bottom wall of the container structure at the cantilever front end and also proximately in front of the rear wall leg assemblies. With all legs of the leg assemblies extended, one can readily roll the container structure up to an elevated loading platform (such as a flatbed of a truck) so as to position the cantilever front end above the platform, then retract the legs of the forwardly located leg assemblies to lower the front end into caster engagement with the platform, thereafter push the container structure forwardly until the bottom casters near the rear wall leg assemblies are above the platform, and finally retract the legs of the rear wall container leg assemblies to lower the rear end of the structure into caster engagement with the platform, thereby facilitating further manual maneuvering to complete the loading of the container structure on the platform.
