Abstract
A container for handling and storing large quantities of bulk material such as food products, comprises a unitary molded plastic liquid-tight single wall tank or tub having a bottom and four upwardly extending walls, corner nesting stops located at each corner at the upper end of the container, a lip along the upper edges of the walls, and gussets at the top of the walls supporting the lip. A lid fits over the container lip and has a skirt that is blended inwardly toward the lip so as not to catch on a lip or lid of an adjacent container.
