Claim:
A container, comprising: a base; a pair of opposing endwalls, each of the pair of opposing endwalls including (i) an endwall top portion, (ii) an endwall interior surface, (iii) an endwall exterior surface, and (iv) an endwall support surface located on the endwall top portion, wherein the endwall support surface further includes a bail arm lock structure; a pair of opposing sidewalls, each of the pair of opposing sidewalls including (i) a sidewall top portion, (ii) a sidewall interior surface, (iii) a sidewall exterior surface, (iv) an outer pair of notches extending downwardly from the corresponding sidewall top portion, (v) an inner pair of notches extending downwardly from the corresponding sidewall top portion, and (vi) a pair of receptacles, wherein each receptacle includes an opening; and a pair of bail arms, each of the bail arm including (i) a pair of receptacle engaging portions that are rotationally received within the corresponding receptacle of each of the opposing sidewall, (ii) a pair of crank members located adjacent to the receptacle engaging portions, and (iii) an engaging portion located between each of a respective pair of crank members, wherein when the engaging portions of each of the bail arms are placed on the corresponding endwall support surfaces, the container is configured to stack a second identical container in nested position, and further wherein the bail arm lock structure is configured to substantially prevent the bail arm from moving inadvertently when the bail arm is substantially locked by the bail arm lock structure, wherein the bail arm lock structure comprises: at least a first bail arm lock that is substantially vertical, and wherein the first ball arm lock includes a bail arm lock interior surface with a radius of curvature substantially equal to a radius of the bail arm, and a bail arm lock vertical portion that rises to a height above the endwall support surface that is at least as high as the radius of the bail arm.
