ABSTRACT:
A stackable-nestable container is disclosed having a rim defining the top thereof. The rim along each side is recessed with the recesses terminating in upstanding shoulders adjacent each end. The rim across each end of the container is recessed below the bottom of the recesses in the sides. The container has a pair of legs, one at each end. The height of the legs is substantially equal to the difference in depth between the side and end recesses whereby, when the containers are telescopically nested, an access opening extends between containers for receiving the tines of a forklift as a result of the legs of the upper of two containers resting on the bottom of the container beneath. The lengthwise spacing between the legs equals the width of the container at the top rim and the length of the recesses in the sides of the rim equals the lateral spacing of the legs to permit interlocked stacking when alternate containers are rotated 90.degree. with respect to each other. Also, an access opening is provided for insertion of the tines of a forklift.
