Abstract
A container device for transporting and storing coils of wire which protect the coils from damage. The device comprises a circumferential shell having a recessed annular bottom element inwardly adjacent the upper edge of the shell to form an open-topped annular receptacle in the upper side of the device. The inner edge of the bottom element extends upwardly to provide a hollow central post concentric with the outer shell. The underside of the device is formed with a closure wall coextensive in width with the recessed bottom element and is adapted to form a closure for the open-topped receptacle of the subjacent container device when the devices are stacked one upon another. Sockets for a forklift truck are provided in the circumference of the shell to enable the forklift truck to manipulate the devices into and out of position in the stack.
