Abstract
A reusable wire mesh shipping container for the one-way transportation of bulk liquid materials. The shipping container consists of a box like wire mesh outer container and a blow molded inner tank. The bottom wall of the outer container has dependent legs which are appropriately spaced so as to enable the extension of forklift tines thus promoting manipulation of the container. The side and bottom walls of the container are connected so as to permit the side walls to fold upon each other, and subsequently, upon the bottom wall. The container is secured in the folded position by the top wall. In the folded position, the container thereby occupies a minimum amount of transportation space during subsequent return to the original supplier.
