Freight container with doors

Abstract

There is provided a collapsible container for transporting goods. An exemplary collapsible container comprises a floor and a plurality of side walls. At least one first side wall has at least one door for loading and unloading the container, at least one side wall adjacent to the door, and at least one guide rail arranged essentially horizontally for swiveling the door and for sliding the door along the guide rail. The door engages vertically via a pin into a first hole or into a first depression in the guide rail on one door hinge per guide rail so as to swivel, and the guide rail is configured in such a way that, by lifting the door, the pin can be removed from the first hole or from the first depression without allowing the door hinge to be removed from the guide rail. In this state, the door can be slid along the guide rail parallel to the side wall, so that the inside of the door faces the outside of the side wall. A sliding guide installed on the inside of the door rests on the sliding guide so as to slide in order to prevent the door from tilting when it is being slid.
