A reusable plastic base serves as a pallet which may be lifted by the skids of a forklift truck. A sleeve is removably attached to the base and forms the side walls of the container. In the preferred embodiment, the sleeve is made of corrugated material having tabs formed along its lower edge. The tabs are adapted to pass through slots in the base and be folded underneath the base to hold the components together. The base is preferably designed with a peripheral groove lying substantially at floor level to receive the edge of the sleeve. Compressive loads applied to the container are transferred by the sleeve directly to the floor thereby minimizing deformation of peripheral portions of the base.
