摘要 |
The invention relates to a container (10), consisting of a thermoplastic synthetic material which comprises side walls and a flat upper and lower bas e, whereby the upper base has at least one fill and evacuation opening (14). Th e outer periphery of said upper base is equipped with a continuous handling an d transport ring (12). In order to more efficiently utilise hitherto unusable pallet storage areas, lying between the conventional round, plugged barrels in prior art, the container body has an approximately square cross-sectional surface with slightly convex side surfaces and slightly rounded corner areas . To counteract the tendency of the flat container walls to bulge as a result of this construction, the container body is equipped with reinforcing elements (22, 24) which run vertically and/or horizontally.
