A volumetrically efficient and robust roll container (100) is proposed including a first side wall (110), a second side wall (120) and an articulated chassis, which connects the first side wall to the second side wall. The chassis is configured to guide the side walls between a distal mutual position for a deployed configuration of the roll container and a proximal mutual position for a folded configuration the roll container through an intermediate configuration there between. The articulated chassis has a folding mechanism (130), which features two arms (131, 132) pivotably attached via corner hinge (134, 135) to a lateral end of the side walls. The folding mechanism also includes a center hinge (133), which connecting the first arms together along a vertical axis of rotation. To protect the center hinge from external impacts, the arms both comprise a portion in the region of the center hinge, which portion is decreased along the axis of rotation.
