A container (10) is disclosed having a pair of spaced apart flanges (28, 29) through each of which a J-shaped slot (30) extends. Each slot (30) has an inboard end (32) proximate the vertical centerline of the container and an outboard end (34) positioned a greater distance from the centerline. A wheel assembly axle rod (52) extends through the slots (30) and wheels (46, 48) are affixed to opposite ends of the axle rod. The axle rod (52) moves between the inboard end (32) of the slot wherein the wheels (46, 48) lie within the footprint of the container sidewalls (12) and the outboard end (34) of the slot wherein the wheels (46, 48) project rearward beyond a rearward sidewall (19) of the container. With the wheel assembly in the inboard position, the container is nestable with a like-configured second container without interference with the wheels; and with the wheel assembly in the outboard position, the wheels are positioned outward for enhanced tipping stability and for easier support of the load carried in the container.
