A transport container having a base and a plurality of side walls perpendicularly connected to form a container having an inner cavity. The side walls are formed of first and second wall panels. The first and second wall panels are hingedly connected so that the first or upper wall panels may fold down relative to the second or lower wall panels to collapse the transport container after use. The first and second wall panels are hingedly connected by an elongated flexible hinge. Edge portions of the first wall panels have coupling assemblies that are designed to selectively connect and disconnect adjacent first wall panels.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A transport container comprising:a base;a plurality of side walls extending from the base, the side walls being adjacent to each other at edges to form a container having an inner cavity, each of the side walls being formed of a first wall panel and a second wall panel connected to the first wall panel by a hinge, adjacent first wall panels being selectively connectable and disconnectable to each other at edges of the side walls to allow the first wall panels to fold down relative to the second wall panels thereby shortening the transport container;wherein at least one of the second wall panels is slidably connected to adjacent second wall panels by edge connectors such that the side wall with the slidably connected second wall panel may be slid in a direction essentially perpendicular to the base for access to the inner cavity, the edge connectors preventing the adjacent second wall panels from pulling away from the slidably connected second wall panel in other directions.
