More Information
Summary:A new drop fox assembly or container (10) having a base frame (12), a pair of runners (26) to elevate the base frame (12) from a surface, a first pair of door panels (30) attached along one edge to the base frame (12), a sleeve (14) having a plurality of sidewalls (18), and a top frame (16) is disclosed. The base frame (12) is preferably designed with a plurality of side members (18) configured to define an opening (20), and a channel (22) seated within the side members (18) and circumjacent the opening (20) - an upper surface (24) of each side member (18) being sloped away from the channel (22) and toward the opening (20). Engagement of the disclosed container (10) by a forklift or the like from four directions is permissible. A first means for securing the sleeve within the channel of the base frame includes a plurality of connecting members (46) on one of either the base frame (12) or the sleeve (14). Such connecting members (46) include a plurality of male connecting members (50) on the sleeve and a plurality of corresponding female connecting members (48) on the base frame (12). An optional pair of short door panels (70) may be included to assist flow direction of the discharging material. Compaction of the preferred container (10) allows space efficiencies during shippingand storage of the empty container (10) to be realized.
