Abstract
In a container 1 with an end wall 5, an air treatment system 6 that is arranged in the end wall 5 and comprises an opening 14 on its bottom side, through which it emits an air flow, a floor 2 provided with channels guiding the air flow in a direction away from the end wall 5, and an air guide 15 forming, in an operation position, together with a part of the end wall 5 and a part of the floor 2 an air channel 16 that guides the air flow between the opening 14 and the channels in the floor, it is endeavoured to prevent the air guide from being damaged by the forks of a fork lift truck. This is achieved in that the container 1 comprises a spring arrangement that counteracts a movement of the air guide 15 in the direction of the end wall 5.
