Abstract

A storage container (70) includes a bottom wall, a pair of side walls extending up from the bottom wall, and a pair of end walls extending up from the bottom wall, the bottom wall, side walls, and end walls being interconnected and defining a cargo space (78). A side rim is disposed on top of the side walls and includes a bottom portion (116) extending outwardly from the side wall and an arch (122) extending upward and downward from the bottom portion. The arch defines a convex upper surface and a concave interior arch surface. A middle portion (134) extends upwardly from the arch, an upper portion (136) extends inward from the middle portion, and a lip extending downward from the upper portion and outside of the cargo space. A plurality of spaced apart ribs (130) extend downward from and traverse the concave interior arch surface.
