Abstract

A case for transporting exhibits and other materials includes a container having a bottom, two opposing sides, two opposing ends, and an open top. A wheel assembly is mounted at a first end of the container adjacent the bottom. First and second handles are disposed at respective ends of the container adjacent the open top. The first and second handles allow the container to be carried by two persons lifting on the first and second handles. A third handle is disposed at the end of the container opposite the wheel assembly and adjacent the bottom of the container. The third handle allows the container to be moved by lifting on the third handle and rolling the container on the wheel assembly. Integrally molded hand holds are also formed in the sides of the container adjacent the open top. To facilitate stacking of the containers, a pair of stacking feet project outwardly from one side of the container. The stacking feet mate with stacking holes formed in an opposing side of an adjacent container when the containers are stacked one upon another.
