  • Patent number: 4147369
    Abstract: A unitary double-halved shipping container is provided with a wheel well, and detachable arms and wheel assembly to convert the container into a wheelbarrow configuration. This permits ease of handling and maneuvering at low cost in view of the quickly detachable arms and wheel assembly. Integral slots are provided in the container body which accommodate the prongs of a conventional fork lift truck should movement of a number of containers be desired or should the distance of movement be such as to be more conveniently done by fork lift machinery. The halves of the containers are nestable and the slots accommodate securing or shipping straps. The wheel assembly includes a U-shaped spring member, the ends of which are brought together for ease of insertion and release of the wheel. The U-shaped spring member is also provided with a number of outwardly projecting sharp protrusions to secure the wheel assembly to the container when the ends of the U-shaped member are released.
