Abstract
A portable container has a floor support assembly with parallel side support rails extending from the front to the rear of the assembly and an intermediate support rail between and parallel to the side support rails. Floor support members are secured to and extend transversely across the rails. A floor is secured to the floor support members. The support rails have a height sufficient to enable the tines of a lifting device to pass under the floor support members for lifting the container. A lower stabilizing member is secured to the bottom of one or more of the deck support members and defines a downwardly facing landing pad surface. The landing pad surface has a width that is less than the distance between the tines of the lifting device and a length that is greater than the distance between the tines of the lifting device.
