Container

A container comprising a base, and walls extending upwardly from the base to define a mouth of the container, the container being nestable within a like container below and the walls being provided with a strengthened region which forms an upper rim to provide a nesting stop to limit downward movement into another container when nesting, the container further comprising at least one support member having at least one stacking position to support a second container rested on the support member to form a stack, and moveable clear of the container mouth to allow nesting, at least one of the stacking positions being a low stacking position which is below the upper rim, and the container further comprising mounting means by which the support member is mounted on the container to allow movement between the nesting position and the at least one stacking position, the mounting means comprising a transfer portion connected with the support member to receive substantially the whole weight of the support member and of another container supported by the support member, the transfer portion being formed to engage the upper rim when the support member is in one of the stacking positions which is below the upper rim, to transfer said weight substantially wholly to the upper rim, whereby the weight is supported primarily by the upper rim.
