Claim 0:
1. A transport container for carrying one or more generally planar objects, the transport container comprising:
a base configured to support the one or more generally planar objects;
opposing first and second side walls operatively connected to the base, the first and second side walls each having a lower end and a generally planar surface, at least one of the first and second side walls movable between an extended position and a contracted position, wherein the transport container has a first width between the first and second side walls when said at least one of the first and second side walls is in the extended position and a second width between the first and second side walls when said at least one of the first and second side walls is in the contracted position, the second width different from the first width;
wherein the first and second side walls are movable between a deployed position and a collapsed position, wherein the transport container has a first height when the first and second side walls are in the deployed position and a second height different than the first height when the first and second side walls are in the collapsed position; and
a locator extending downward from the lower end of at least one of the first and second side walls beyond the generally planar surface, wherein the base defines a plurality of locator recesses sized and shaped to receive the locator such that the at least one of the first and second side walls is configured to move at discrete increments between the extended position and the contracted position when the locator is moved into a different locator recess of the plurality of locator recesses.
