Abstract
A glide floor for use in supporting a number of containers, e.g. for retail display, includes a series of ribs on a top surface defined by the glide floor, in combination with a series of valleys between the ribs. Each rib defines a radiused uppermost tangency point that serves to minimize the contact area between the rib and a bottom surface of each container while providing smooth contact with the bottom surface of the container.
