Abstract

The invention relates to a plastic storage and transport container. The container includes a bottom part and four sidewalls fixedly disposed on the container bottom, or hinged tiltably and latchable to one another. The storage and transport container includes a removal opening (2) in at least one sidewall (1) which is closeable by way of a lid (3). Preferably, the lid (3) is of two-part construction made up of two lid elements (3a, 3b), wherein the two lid elements (3a, 3b) are swingably connected together by way of a hinge-like connection. This lid (3) can only be opened from the inside of the container. When the container is transported, the lid (3) is closed and cannot be opened or manipulated from the outside. For storage, the containers are stacked in such a way that a removal opening (2) of each container is accessible from the front. Prior to stacking the containers, the lids (3) are partially or entirely opened so that the goods located in the container can be removed from the container.
