ABSTRACT:
A portable storage container that both stacks and nests with similar containers includes a plurality of walls extending upwardly from a floor. At least one bail member is moveable between a plurality of positions for supporting the similar containers at varying heights. The bail member includes at least one rib extending radially outward. A similar container stacked on the bail members of the container will interlock with the at least one rib, thereby preventing lateral movement of the upper container relative to the lower container.
