Abstract
There is disclosed a removable shelf (1) for rigid containers (100) for transporting dry goods, the removable shelf (1) comprising at least one shelf locator (10, 11) usable such that the removable shelf (1) can be attached face-to-face to a wall (101) of the containers (100), or to an intermediate removable shelf (2) attached to said wall (101). In this way, one or more removable shelves (1) can be attached to the wall of a container (100). This is particularly advantageous in the case of collapsible containers (100), whereby the removable shelves (1) can thus be neatly retained and stacked within the collapsed containers (100).
