1. A container comprising:
a housing;
a top panel defining a top surface;
a left panel pivotal relative to the top panel, wherein the left panel pivotally rotates with respect to the top panel around a first axis between an opened position and a closed position, and wherein a bottom of the left panel and the top surface of the top panel are both facing upwards when the left panel is in the opened position;
a top surface of the left panel opposite the bottom of the left panel, the top surface of the left panel including a coupling interface configured to couple the container to a second container;
a support arm, wherein a first end of the support arm is pivotal relative to a top of the left panel that is opposite the bottom of the left panel; and
a support structure comprising a ramp that interfaces against a second end of the support arm opposite the first end, wherein when the left panel is in the opened position the ramp defines an angle with respect to a line that extends from the bottom of the ramp to the first axis of the left panel, and wherein the angle is between 95 and 115 degrees.
