Abstract: A container includes a chute for supporting reels, the chute including a bottom, a lower wall zone, an upper wall zone, and a support frame for supporting the chute. The container has a horizontal support plane on both sides of the chute, the upper wall zone being formed by a first support surface of a wedge-like support member placed onto the support plane, a second support surface of the support member resting against the support plane when the support member is in a first use position; a pivot mechanism allowing the support member to be turned in relation to the support frame so that the first support surface sets against the lower wall zone of the chute and the second support surface sets onto the same height level as the support plane for forming a uniform loading plane and for placing the support member to a second use position.
