A transport and storage container for liquids has as principal components a palette-like bottom frame for an exchangeable inner container of synthetic material and a grate casing with horizontal and vertical grate rods of metal for receiving the inner container. The vertical grate rods connected with their upper ends to the upper border profile of the grate casing by dot welding and clinching. As a result of the two-fold connection by positive and frictional engagement of the vertical grate rods to the upper circumferential border profile of the grate casing ensures that, when the dot welded connections fail, the fastening of the vertical grate rods to the upper border profile of the grate casing is ensured by the clinch connection and, when the clinch connection fails, the fastening of the grate rods to the upper border profile of the grate casing is ensured by the dot welded connections.
