Abstract

A container includes a receptacle having walls, a floor, and an open side. The container includes first and second doors. At least one first latch unit is operatively associated with the first door and is movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. At least one second latch unit is operatively associated with the second door and is movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. A locking system for moving the first and second latch units between the latched and the unlatched positions includes a locking member movable between a first position in which the locking member moves the first latch unit of the first door from the latched to the unlatched position and a second position in which the locking member moves the second latch unit of the second door from the latched to the unlatched position.
