However, the fact is that it is merely a box-shaped form intended to simply store the items to be packed.

[0003] Therefore, in order to transport the container, a carrier called a pallet manufactured separately from the container is prepared, and a container on which the article to be packaged is stored is loaded on the pallet. A container is placed on a forklift truck, and the container is transported by moving and moving up and down according to the purpose.

[0004] As described above, in the conventional example, in addition to the trouble that the container body and the pallet must be manufactured independently, a forklift truck is generally used for transporting the container. However, the container loaded on the pallet has to be moved together with the pallet or moved up and down, so that there has been a problem that care must be taken to prevent the container from slipping off the pallet or dislodging the load. In addition, pallets are independent of containers, so pallets and containers are stored and stored separately.
There was also complexity that had to be managed.
