Abstract: A wafer basket and a carrier easily attached and detached to an end wall of the basket. The wafer basket has upright side and end walls and an open top and bottom, with lower edges of at least two of the opposing walls having supports lying in a horizontal plane for resting the basket on a horizontal surface. At least one end wall has upper and lower edges which are adjacent the top and bottom of the basket, the lower edge being spaced above the horizontal plane. The carrier comprises a handle with a vertical plate at its lower end configured to lie against the one end wall of the basket. The lower edge of the plate has an upwardly and inwardly slanted lip configured to hook underneath the lower edge of the one end wall, and the plate also has an inwardly and downwardly oriented hook spaced above its lower edge and configured to hook over the upper edge of the basket end wall.
