ABSTRACT:
A plastic tank for handling and storing large quantities of bulk material such as cucumbers in brine comprises a molded plastic tank having a bottom and four upwardly extending walls, a lip along the upper edges of the four walls, the walls including corner nesting stops for facilitating nesting and unnesting of the tank in a similar tank by limiting the distance an upper nesting tank extends into a lower nesting tank, the walls further including gussets extending from the walls of the tank to the outer portion of the lip for supporting the lip at the top of the four walls and for guiding a tank being lowered next to an adjacent tank into proper position, an interference ear at each of the lower corners of the tank to protect against tanks jamming together when nesting, the bottom of the tank including three parallel downwardly extending, hollow runners forming support members for the tank, the runners extending across the bottom of the tank, spaces formed at the ends of the runners for entry of tines of a forklift truck or a pallet jack, spaces between the runners for entry of tines of a forklift truck or a pallet jack and a depressor member for submerging the cucumbers in the brine.
