A top portion of each of the side walls 13 defines at least one opening 131. In at least one embodiment, each opening 131 is a U-shaped. Each of the side walls 13 defines a plurality of through holes 133, and in at least one embodiment, the plurality of through holes 133 is arranged around each opening 131.

The positioning members 90 comprise a plurality of first positioning members 91 mounted below the opening 131, two second positioning members 93 mounted on each side of the opening 131, and two third positioning members 95. The two second positioning members 93, located at each side of the opening 131, are in a single line vertical to the bottom wall 11. Each third positioning member 95 is mounted on one side of the pair of second positioning members 93, away from the first positioning member 91. Each third positioning member 95 comprises a fixing portion 951 coupled to the side wall 11 and a hook 953 coupled to the fixing portion 951. In at least one embodiment, two first positioning members 91 are mounted on a level which is horizontally below that of each opening 131, and each hook 953 has elasticity and is V-shaped.

The cover 30 comprises a top plate 31 and two connecting plates 33 vertically coupled to two sides of the top plate 31. Each connecting plate 33 defines at least one opening 331 corresponding to the opening 131 of the side wall 13.

Each mounting plate 50 defines a plurality of through holes 51 corresponding to the first positioning members 91 and the second positioning members 93.

FIG. 3 illustrates an lifting member 70. Each lifting member 70 comprises an operating plate 71. The operating plate 71 defines a rectangular notch 711. An operating portion 712 is formed above the notch 711. A bottom of the notch 711 defines two spaced positioning grooves 7111. Two sides of the operating plate 71 respectively define a slide slot 713. Each end of the operating plate 71 defines a first lock opening 715 and a second lock opening 717, to lock the hooks 953. In at least one embodiment, the slide slots 713 are elongated, and the two slide slots 713 are parallel to each other. The first lock opening 715 and the second lock opening 717 are V-shaped.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in assembly of the cargo container, each lifting member 70 is located in the case 10. The slide slots 713 and the notch 711 of each lifting member 70 are opposite to the through holes 953, and the first lock opening 715 of the lifting member 70 is opposite to hook 953 of the third positioning member 95. Each lifting member 70 is laid against the corresponding side wall 13, and each lifting member 70 is attached to the corresponding side wall 13. The hooks 953 are locked into the first lock openings 715, and the second positioning members 93 are locked to the through holes 133 of the side walls 13 passing through the through holes 51 of the mounting plate 51 and the slide slots 713 of the lifting members 70. The second positioning members 93 provide a downward stop for the slide slots 713. The lifting members 70 are mounted between the side wall 13 and the corresponding mounting plate 50, and are positioned at a first location. The openings 331 of the cover 30 are opposite to the corresponding openings 131 of the case 10, and the cover 30 is attached to the top of the case 10. The operating portion 712 is received in the opening 331 of the cover 30 and the opening 131 of the case 10.

Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, when the cargo container is to be carried, the operating portions 712 are pulled out through the opening 331 of the cover 30 and the opening 131 of the case 10, and the hooks 953 are detached from the first lock openings 715. The lifting members 70 slide up the side wall, and the hooks 953 are locked into the second lock openings 717. The first positioning members 91 lock into the positioning grooves 7111 of the lifting members 70, and the second position member 93 provides a stop at a bottom end of the slide slot 713. The lifting members 70 are positioned at a second location of the case 10, the operating portion 712 and a part of the notch 711 extend out the case 10, allowing easy lifting and handling of the cargo container.
