ABSTRACT:
A lightweight container formed of a plastics material is provided for use in carrying fresh produce. The container base and side panels are molded with interfitting tenon and mortise joints which provide a strong and tight fit but yet which permit easy knock-down for storage or return of the container parts. Ledges formed on the lower margins of the side panels interfit with sockets formed along the base. The corners and side margins of the base are captured within horizontal slots in the corner and intermediate tenons of the panel, while locking ribs formed above these tenons fit into vertical slots in the base. A plurality of slots are provided in the inner region of the base for drainage and air circulation. Openings are formed beneath the base for insertion of the tines of a forklift truck.
