Abstract
A cargo container includes two tine tunnels disposed at the top of the container, for receiving the tines of a fork-lift truck. The tine tunnels fit between upper and lower header extrusions and a protection plate is provided to protect the container from the fork tines. Lifting the container at the top, rather than at the bottom, improves loading stability and minimizes container damage.
