Abstract
A four-level stacking container includes bale members mounted on each of two opposed end walls by pivot pins received in slots in the end walls. The configuration of the slots are such that the bale member pivot pins may be located in either of at least two stable rest positions within the slots and the bale member may be pivoted to either of two rest positions relative to the end walls for each stable rest position of the pivot pin. The four rest positions thus established accommodate the stacking of a like container in a first container at any one of four different elevations relative to the first container.
