A collapsible container comprises a four-sided base including a base pallet mounted detachably to a base frame supporting a base panel. First, second, third and fourth side walls are connected to the sides of the base by means of floating hinge assemblies in the form of stub axles located within upright channel formations. Each side wall is pivotable between an erect position in which it extends perpendicularly from the base in a stacked position in which it is substantially parallel to and overlies the base. The floating hinge assemblies allow the hinge or pivot point of each side wall to be raised prior to being folded down into the stacked position over the other side walls. A pair of lid halves are hinged to the uppermost edges of the first and second side walls on floating hinges, which allow the lid halves to pivot to a collapsed position in which they are flush with the outer surfaces of the first and second side walls. The container is typically an IBC bag-in-the-box-type container. |
