The storage container includes a substantially rectangular base and frame constructed with a rear wall, opposing side walls, a front wall, a roof and a floor having an underside, wherein one of the rear wall, front wall or opposing side walls include an opening, and two slides (longsills) defined in, or disposed on, the underside of the floor, wherein the two slides are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein the slides extend lengthwise in a direction extending from the front wall to the rear wall. The lifting wheel assembly includes a handle connected to a rectangular shaped base unit which serves as the body of the assembly. Included on the handle is a switch for activating the raising and lowering mechanism of the assembly unit, and a warning or caution beacon with an activation switch. The base includes an axle and wheel assembly and two parallel-disposed lift fork assemblies.
