A transport container is provided including a frame including a front frame and a rear frame, each including two vertical corner posts interconnected by lower and upper crossmembers. The frame also includes a set of lower rails and a set of upper rails extending between the front and rear frames defining upper and lower longitudinal corner edges of the container. The transport container also includes a body comprising a plurality of container walls defining a cargo receiving space, each of the container walls being supported by the frame. The plurality of container walls includes a bottom, first and second longitudinal walls, and first and second end walls. The first longitudinal wall and the second longitudinal wall are flared, such that distance between the first longitudinal wall the second longitudinal wall is widest proximate to an opening disposed at the first end wall.
