ABSTRACT:
A container replacing a 55-gallon drum is substantially elongate rectangular with a length and width equal to or greater than its height to present a low center of gravity. An upstanding lip on a top wall and a depending lip on a bottom wall rest within one another to prevent lateral shifting of stacked containers. The lips have pairs of registered notches along all four sides to facilitate fork lifting from any side. The bottom depending lip spaces the bottom wall of the container from a floor to create a space for receiving the lift truck tines thereunder. The nesting depending and upstanding lips likewise create a space between stacked containers for receiving the lift truck tines therebetween. Openings in the top wall and both end walls provide access to the internal storage chamber, and the openings are protected from damage by overhanging top and bottom walls and the upstanding lip. The upstanding lip also includes perforations for lifting the container with such as rope, slings or chains from above.
