Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for foldable containers with improved mobility. In one embodiment, an example foldable container may include a first container wall having a frame and a panel coupled to the frame, a second container wall coupled to the first container wall, the second container wall configured to rotate outwards with respect to the first container wall, a third container wall coupled to the first container wall, and a fourth container wall. The fourth container wall may include a first portion coupled to the second container wall, where the first portion rotates with respect to the second container wall, and a second portion coupled to the third container wall. The foldable container may include a latch configured to secure the first portion to the second portion, where the latch has a handle and a spring that biases that handle towards a front of the foldable container.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for foldable containers with improved dumping features. In one embodiment, an example foldable container may include a first container wall, a second container wall coupled to the first container wall at a first joint, the second container wall configured to rotate outwards in a first direction with respect to the first container wall, and a third container wall coupled to the first container wall at a second joint, the third container wall oriented perpendicular to the first container wall. Example foldable containers may include a number of wheels and smooth side panels, where a first cross-sectional area of the foldable container at a lower portion of the foldable container is greater than a second cross-sectional area of the foldable container at an upper portion of the foldable container.
