Abstract: A container and caddy system is disclosed herein. The container and caddy system includes a storage container and a caddy for supporting and transporting the storage container. The storage container has a receptacle, a lid, and one or more hinges. The hinges connect the lid to the receptacle, enabling easy access to the interior of the receptacle. The caddy has a frame dimensioned to accept the storage container, four wheels able to roll the caddy along the ground, and two or more lift members. The lift members are divided into first and second lift member assemblies. These mechanically connect the wheels to the frame and are connected to each other by a hinge pin which causes the first and second lift member assemblies to move in a scissoring action to raise or lower the frame relative to the wheels.
