Abstract

A reinforced payload container may include a panel forming at least one of a floor, a sidewall, and a front wall. A first plurality of ribs may be attached to the panel and may include a first free edge and a first panel edge. A second plurality of ribs may also be attached to the panel and may intersect with the first plurality of ribs. The second plurality of ribs may include a second free edge and a second panel edge. The first plurality of ribs may include first rib slots along the first free edge, and the second plurality of ribs may include second rib slots along the second panel edge. The first rib slots and the second rib slots may be aligned so that the first rib slots receive the second ribs and the second rib slots receive the first ribs.
