Abstract: A bin having a base and a plurality of side walls. The base is provided with tunnels to allow the tines of a fork lift truck to engage and lift the bin. The side walls are reinforced in regions which are respectively associated with the tunnels and which each extend in an upward direction from the associated tunnel to the upper rim of the bin. As a result, when a stack of such bins is lifted by a fork lift truck, the upward lift from the tines is transmitted upwardly through the reinforced regions of the different bins in the stack.
