Abstract

L'invention porte sur un bac de stockage pliable qui comprend une palette en bois (1) présentant une surface supérieure (2) délimitant le plancher du bac, et une surface inférieure (3) constitué de ou incluant un cadre périphérique continu (3) reliant les coins de la palette (1) pour empêcher le pliage de cette dernière lorsque le bac de stockage est chargé. La surface supérieure (2) de la palette (1) est raccourcie sur des bords opposés adjacents sur lesquels des parois latérales détachables (10) peuvent s'installer par coulissement, ou sur des ensembles de verrouillage libérables (8, 14, 15) situés sur les bords latéraux de parois latérales pivotantes (5) sur une distance correspondant à l'épaisseur de chaque paroi latérale détachable, ce qui permet de déployer le bord inférieur de chaque paroi latérale détachable (10) de manière à ce qu'il dépass la surface supérieure (2) de la palette (1).
