Foldable shipping container

A foldable shipping container capable of being shipped in either a folded or erected condition. The container includes an outer container and an inner tank. The outer container is foldable upon itself so that all portions of the outer container are generally confined within the perimeter of the its base. The inner tank is also provided with a protected valve assembly located within the perimeter of the base and further includes an inflatable support which assists in the filling the inner tank.

A containment basin for containing liquid spillage from a portable storage tank in which one end wall is rotatable from an upright operative position to a lowered position aligned with the surrounding floor to enable a portable storage tank to be moved into the containment basin on a wheeled dolly without the need for lifting of the storage tank.

Containment basin for containing liquid spillage from a portable storage

The present invention relates to reusable bulk transport containers having four wheels attached thereto forming a dolly for easy movement of the containers by a single person. The containers are further equipped with four legs for supporting the containers upright wherein the four wheels are all spaced above the ground surface. Two of the legs are in the form of a kick-stand which can be rotatable to a raised position after which the container can be tilted onto the four wheels and the center of gravity spaced between the main and rear wheels such that when tilted to a wheeled position, the container is inherently stable and will not tip over.
