Abstract
The present invention relates to reusable bulk transport containers having four wheels attached thereto forming a dolly for easy movement of the containers by a single person. The containers are further equipped with four legs for supporting the containers upright wherein the four wheels are all spaced above the ground surface. Two of the legs are in the form of a kick-stand which can be rotatable to a raised position after which the container can be tilted onto the four wheels and the center of gravity spaced between the main and rear wheels such that when tilted to a wheeled position, the container is inherently stable and will not tip over.
