A first container is provided including a first base, a first wall, a second wall, a third wall, and a fourth wall. The first, second, third, and fourth walls, can each be placed in an erect state, substantially perpendicular to the first base or in a collapsed state substantially parallel to the first base. The first and second walls, which oppose each other, can also be placed in ramp states to allow a vehicle or cargo to be rolled over the first or second walls and onto the first base. Inverted J-shaped slots allow the first wall or the second wall to pivot about multiple pivot points with respect to the base.

1. An apparatus comprising: a first container comprising: a first base comprised of first, second, third, and fourth sides, the first and third sides substantially parallel to each other and spaced apart by the second and fourth sides, the second and fourth sides substantially parallel to each other and spaced apart by the first and third sides, the first and third sides substantially perpendicular to the second and fourth sides;a first wall located adjacent the first side of the first base;a second wall located adjacent the second side of the first base;a third wall located adjacent to the third side of the first base;a fourth wall located adjacent to the fourth side of the first base;wherein each of the first, second, third, and fourth walls, can he placed in an erect state, substantially perpendicular to the first base;wherein the first container is configured so that the first container can he placed in a collapsed state in which each of the first, second, third, and fourth walls lie substantially over the first base and substantially parallel to the first base;and wherein the first container is configured so that the first container can he placed in a mixed state in which each of the second and fourth walls is erect and substantially perpendicular to the first base, while each of the first and third walls is in a ramp state in which each of the first and third walls wall lies substantially adjacent to, but not substantially over the first base, and at an angle of about five degrees with respect to the first base;wherein the first container is configured so that a vehicle can be rolled over the first wall and then onto the first base when the first wall is in a ramp state in which the first wall lies substantially adjacent to, but not substantially over the first base, and at an angle of about five degrees with respect to the first base; andwherein the first container is configured so that a vehicle can be rolled over the third wall and then onto the first base, when the third wall is in a ramp state in which the third wall lies substantially adjacent to, but not substantially over the first base, and at an angle of about five degrees with respect to the first base. 2. An apparatus comprising: a first container comprising: a first base comprised of first, second, third, and fourth sides, the first and third sides substantially parallel to each other and spaced apart by the second and fourth sides, the second and fourth sides substantially parallel to each other and spaced apart by the first and third sides, the first and third sides substantially perpendicular to the second and fourth sides;a first wall located adjacent the first side of the first base;a second wall located adjacent the second side of the first base;a third wall located adjacent to the third side of the first base;a fourth wall located adjacent to the fourth side of the first base;wherein each of the first, second, third, and fourth walls, can be placed in an erect state, substantially perpendicular to the first base;wherein the second wall can be placed in and kept in an erect state substantially perpendicular to the first base without the support of the first, third, and fourth walls;wherein the fourth wall can be placed in and kept in an erect state substantially perpendicular to the first base without the support of the first, second, and third walls;wherein the first container is configured so that the first container can be placed in a collapsed state in which each of the first, second, third, and fourth walls lie substantially over the first base and substantially parallel to the first base;and wherein the first container is configured so that the first wall can be placed in a ramp state in which the first wall lies substantially adjacent to, but not substantially over the first base, and at an angle of about five degrees with respect to the first base, while at least one of the second and the fourth walls is kept in an erect state by a support means without the support of the other walls of the first, second, third, and fourth walls, so that the at least one of the second and the fourth walls is substantially perpendicular to the first base. 3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the support means includes a flange. 4. The apparatus of claim 2 further comprising a lid which can be connected to the first, second, third, and fourth walls; andwherein in their erect state, the first, second, third, and fourth walls form four sides of an open box structure and the first base forms a bottom of the open box structure, and the lid can be used to close the open box structure. 5. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the support means includes a latching device which locks the at least one of the second and the fourth walls in an erect state substantially perpendicular to the first base.
