ABSTRACT:
A nestable container is disclosed for use with automatic storage/retrieval systems. The container has a bottom wall and diverging side and end walls. The end walls have recessed areas integrally extending into the interior of the container. Engagement members are located completely within the recessed areas such that they do not protrude beyond a plane defined by the major portion of the end walls. An automatic storage/retrieval system engages the engagement member for the purposes of moving the container. The diverging side and end walls and the inboard engagement members make stacking of containers of the same size and dimensions possible. The side walls have recessed areas spaced from the bottom wall and extending into the interior of the container. The side wall recessed areas define a nesting stop to prevent similar containers from nesting too tight when stacked therein.
