A load carrier which is made from a tough and bendable material, includes a bottom member that has a predetermined number of sides and a plurality of side walls that are mounted on the bottom member and cooperatively define a surrounding wall. Each of the side walls has a lower portion wrapped around the respective side of the bottom member in such a manner that the side wall is pivotable relative to the latter. Each of the side walls has a first fastening piece mounted on one side thereof and which abuts a second fastening piece mounted on one side of an adjacent side wall when the side walls are pivoted to a perpendicular position relative to the bottom member. A locking member fastens detachably the adjacent side walls.
