A sliding storage container apparatus is provided that is comprised of a storage container having a pair of laterally spaced and longitudinally extending rails secured to its underside, and a pair of tracks that engage the rails in sliding engagement. The tracks are mounted in a laterally spaced longitudinally extending disposition on a flat horizontal base surface and the container is mounted for sliding fore and aft movement on the tracks. The tracks or rails are provided with fore and aft stop abutments that limit the extent to which the container may slide over the tracks, and the container rails are provided with slots dimensioned to enable the rails and the container to be disengaged from the track by elevating or leveling the rails and container and sliding the rails and container forward over the fore track abutments.
