The shipping container further includes a dunnage assembly, the dunnage assembly including a tray and a hinge, the hinge subdividing the tray into a first tray portion and a second tray portion. The dunnage assembly is movable along a transverse axis between a first position wherein the second tray portion is at least partially disposed within the interior and a second position wherein the second tray portion is entirely exterior to the body. The second tray portion is rotatable relative to the first tray portion about the hinge when the dunnage assembly is moved between the first position and the second position. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A shipping container, comprising: a body defining an interior, the body comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a right sidewall, a left sidewall, and a rear wall, the bottom wall spaced from the top wall along a vertical axis, the right sidewall and left sidewall each extending between the top wall and the bottom wall, the left sidewall spaced from the right sidewall along a longitudinal axis, the body further defining a front opening, the front opening spaced from the rear wall along a transverse axis; a dunnage assembly, the dunnage assembly comprising a tray forming a base support for the dunnage assembly and a hinge in the base support, the hinge subdividing the tray into a first tray portion having a first portion of the base support and a second tray portion having a second portion of the base support, the first tray portion including a first support member extending upward and the second tray including a second support member extending upward, the dunnage assembly movable along the transverse axis between a first position wherein the second tray portion is at least partially disposed within the interior and a second position wherein the second tray portion is entirely exterior to the body, and wherein the second tray portion is rotatable relative to the first tray portion about the hinge when the dunnage assembly is moved between the first position and the second position; and a strap connecting the dunnage assembly and the body, the dunnage assembly having a slot receiving the strap. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The shipping container of claim 1, wherein the second tray portion is entirely disposed within the interior when the dunnage assembly is in the first position. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The shipping container of claim 1, wherein the second tray portion and first tray portion are coplanar when the dunnage assembly is in the first position. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The shipping container of claim 1, wherein the hinge extends along the longitudinal axis. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The shipping container of claim 1, wherein the strap limits movement of the dunnage assembly along the transverse axis. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The shipping container of claim 5, wherein the strap extends along the transverse axis between the dunnage assembly and the rear wall. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The shipping container of claim 5, wherein the strap extends along the longitudinal axis through the dunnage assembly. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The shipping container of claim 1, wherein the first support member is formed from foam. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The shipping container of claim 1, further comprising at least one panel disposed within the interior and dividing the interior into a plurality of pockets, and wherein the dunnage assembly is positioned in one of the plurality of pockets. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The shipping container of claim 9, wherein the at least one panel is a plurality of panels. ### Claim 11 A shipping container, comprising: a body defining an interior, the body comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a right sidewall, a left sidewall, and a rear wall, the bottom wall spaced from the top wall along a vertical axis, the right sidewall and left sidewall each extending between the top wall and the bottom wall, the left sidewall spaced from the right sidewall along a longitudinal axis, the body further defining a front opening, the front opening spaced from the rear wall along a transverse axis; a dunnage assembly, the dunnage assembly comprising a tray forming a base support for the dunnage assembly and a hinge in the base support, the hinge extending along the longitudinal axis and subdividing the tray into a first tray portion having a first portion of the base support and a second tray portion having a second portion of the base support, the first tray portion including a first support member mounted to the first tray portion and the second tray including a second support member mounted to the second tray portion, the dunnage assembly movable along the transverse axis between a first position wherein the second tray portion is at least partially disposed within the interior and a second position wherein the second tray portion is entirely exterior to the body, wherein the second tray portion and first tray portion are coplanar when the dunnage assembly is in the first position, and wherein the second tray portion is rotatable relative to the first tray portion about the hinge when the dunnage assembly is moved between the first position and the second position; and a strap connecting the dunnage assembly and the body, the dunnage assembly having a slot receiving the strap. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The shipping container of claim 11, wherein the second tray portion is entirely disposed within the interior when the dunnage assembly is in the first position. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The shipping container of claim 11, wherein the strap limits movement of the dunnage assembly along the transverse axis. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The shipping container of claim 13, wherein the strap extends along the transverse axis between the dunnage assembly and the rear wall. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The shipping container of claim 13, wherein the strap extends along the longitudinal axis through the dunnage assembly. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The shipping container of claim 11, wherein the first support member is formed from foam. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The shipping container of claim 11, further comprising at least one panel disposed within the interior and dividing the interior into a plurality of pockets, and wherein the dunnage assembly is positioned in one of the plurality of pockets. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The shipping container of claim 17, wherein the at least one panel is a plurality of panels.
