Zusammenfassung:A bulk container for particulate material is disclosed. It has longitudinal sides which in use extend upwardly and 5 approximately in a vertical direction with end walls at an angle in an inward and downward sense to provide a relatively steep slope for guiding discharge of the material under gravity, a multiplicity of discharge doors being provided in the bottom portion of the container for 10 selected opening to permit gravity discharge of the material, the container further having a longitudinally extending structural member in an intermediate portion of the container and above the upper portion of each door, and the angled end wall in the intermediate portion being 15 more steeply angled than the portion of the end wall above to facilitate gravity discharge and reduce what might otherwise be a propensity for arching of the material in the body of the container and adjacent to the longitudinal structural member.
