Abstract: The disclosure provides a wheeled container assembly (10) and a handle assembly (20) for a container, the handle assembly comprising a pair of pa ra Nelly disposed leg members (24, 26), each leg member comprising a first leg segment (32) articulable to the container, a second leg segment (34) telescopically displaceable with respect to said first leg segment, and a third leg segment (36) telescopically displaceable with respect to said second leg segment; a bridge member (40) rigidly extending between an upper portion the first leg segments, and a manipulating handle (42) rigidly extending between a top portion of the third leg segments; the leg members are configurable between a locked extended position and a locked retracted position; a primary locking mechanism (120); and a secondary locking mechanism (50); and wherein retracting the third leg segment into the second leg segment is facilitated after retraction of the second leg segment into the first leg segment.
