The suspension device (A) is formed: by a ring (20) incorporating two opposite radial pins (21) and being ascendingly seated and locked against an external peripheral rib (14) of the body (10) of the container; and by a U-shaped handle (30) having end portions (31) articulated in the radial pins (21) and being angularly displaced between inoperative and operative positions. The ring (20) incorporates a lock means (40) to retain the handle (30) in the inoperative position. Each end portion (31) of the handle (30) has a through opening (33), supporting a radial pin (21) and presenting a width, in the direction transversal to the extension of the handle (30), sufficient to tightly support, in said direction, the radial pin, and a length, in the longitudinal direction of the handle (30), sufficient to support the radial pin (21), both with the handle (30) in the inoperative position, and with the handle (30) in angular displacement from the inoperative position to the operative position.
