Abstract
A shipping container includes a body defining an interior. 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.
