摘要： A shipping container (20) includes a floor (40) and opposite side walls (42, 44), with each side wall including a panel supporting element (68, 70) at or near an upper region of the side,wall for supporting a plurality of removable rigid cover panels (30). Each cover panel (30) has opposite side edges (60, 66) and first and second ends (56, 58). The panel supporting elements of the side walls are configured to at least partially receive the side edges of the cover panels to support the cover panels at the upper region of the side walls. The cover panels are configured to be removably supported at the panel supporting elements in adjacent relationship, whereby the first end (56) of at least one of the cover panels engages the second end (58) of another of the cover panels.
