1. A transport container configured for use in a system for transporting high temperature bulk materials in industrial plants, which transport container has a main body defining an internal confinement volume by means of a plurality of mutually fixed walls, said plurality of mutually fixed walls comprising:
a front wall and a rear wall, arranged on opposite sides of the container along a transport direction, the front wall being intended for an arrangement upstream of the rear one with respect to a direction of advancement;
a bottom wall, carrying connecting means for connecting the transport container to a movable belt of the system, wherein said front wall and said rear wall are substantially parallel to one another and both inclined with respect to said bottom wall and to said transport direction, by forming with said bottom wall an acute angle, externally and internally with respect to said internal confinement volume, respectively;
a reinforcing element in the form of a cross member or upright, interposed between said front wall and said rear wall;
a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall, arranged longitudinally between said front and rear walls and having portions projecting externally with respect to said rear wall from the opposite side with respect to said front wall, which first and second lateral walls are mutually converging towards said front wall,
the transport container being configured to be arranged in sequence with other identical containers along the transport direction with the front wall and part of said first and second lateral wall housed between protruding portions of the first and second lateral walls of an adjacent container, the adjacent container arranged upstream of the sequence with respect to the direction of advancement.
