The transportable container according to claim 4, wherein each one of said side walls comprises two of said contoured portions, which are substantially constituted by respective cuts made along corresponding mutually opposite edges, which are accommodated in corresponding said rails of said second profiled elements. 6. The transportable container according to claim 1, wherein said end plate and said side walls are provided in a polymeric material and are obtained by molding. 7. The transportable container according to claim 1, wherein said unit comprises at least one corner body stably arranged at a corner of said plate and has a pair of said barbs disposed side by side and are engaged by interlocking with respective contoured portions of corresponding contiguous pairs of said side walls. 8. The transportable container according to claim 7, wherein said corner body comprises a central shank, which is interposed parallel between said pair of said barbs and is inserted at least partially into an axial duct, which is defined internally by said at least one second profiled element, for guiding and reference of said second profiled element, with respect to said plate, during assembly. 9. The transportable container according to claim 7, comprising at least one corner housing applied externally to at least one corner of said plate, said at least one corner housing configured for covering and structurally reinforcing, at least one corner and, partially, to cover said plate and said corresponding adjacent side walls. 10. The transportable container according to claim 1, comprising a first half-shell and a second half-shell, which is arranged to close said first half-shell in said configuration for use and is moveable from said configuration for use to a configuration for free access to said compartment, and vice versa, each one of said half-shells having a said end plate, four said side walls and a said interlocking coupling unit, for the stable coupling between each one of said plates and the respective said four side walls. 11. The transportable container according to claim 10, comprising at least one first batten, which defines a first longitudinal slotway for partial accommodation of a respective said side wall of said first half-shell, on the opposite side with respect to the corresponding said plate, and at least one second batten, which defines a second longitudinal slotway for partial accommodation of a respective said side wall of said second half-shell, on the opposite side with respect to the corresponding said plate, said first batten having, on the opposite side with respect to said first slotway, a longitudinal crest, the shape of which is complementary to a longitudinal notch defined along said second batten, on the opposite side with respect to said second slotway. 12. The transportable container according to claim 11, comprising at least one first corner rib, which is L-shaped and is substantially U-shaped in transverse cross-section, for partial accommodation of respective corner flaps of a respective contiguous pair of said side walls of said first half-shell, on the opposite side with respect to the corresponding said end plate, and at least one second corner rib, which is L-shaped and is substantially U-shaped in transverse cross-section, for partial accommodation of respective corner flaps of a respective contiguous pair of said side walls of said second half-shell, on the opposite side with respect to the corresponding said end plate, said first rib having, on the opposite side with respect to said plate of said first half-shell, a protruding longitudinal tongue, for shape mating with a complementarily-shaped recess, which is defined by said second rib, on the opposite side with respect to said plate of said second half-shell. 13. A method for providing a transportable container, which comprises at least one substantially rectangular end plate and four substantially rectangular side walls and defines, in at least one configuration for use, at least one internal compartment for the placement of utensils, tools and objects in general, the method including the following steps: a. arranging said end plate, which is provided with at least one first profiled element, which is comprised in an interlocking coupling unit for receiving said plate and at least one of said side walls, said first profiled element being associated with one side of said plate and defining at least one first groove configured for guiding and partial accommodation of one of said side walls;b. arranging at least one second profiled element, which is comprised in said unit and defines at least one rail configured for guiding and partial coupling of said at least one of said side walls, perpendicularly to said plate and facing toward at least one barb, which is comprised in said unit and stably protrudes from said plate;c. guiding said at least one side wall along said rail until said side wall is partially accommodated in said first groove of said first profiled element and until the simultaneous interlocking engagement of a respective contoured portion with said barb configured for stable coupling between said plate and said at least one wall. 14.
