Choosing reconditioned 48 × 45 containers
The 48 × 45 footprint is a common automotive returnable-packaging size. It is slightly wider than 48 × 40, giving more usable width per container for stampings and subassemblies.
The 48×45 size family offers a broader base than 48×40. Compare the actual inside width, divider arrangement, and drop-door opening when replacing an existing fleet. Compare 25, 27, 34, 42, 48, 50-inch nominal heights to balance part clearance with handling access.
For reconditioned containers, request the inspection scope and photos of the offered lot, including hinges, latches, base, and drop doors.
Orbis models are included in this size family. Compare each model’s exterior dimensions and rating before mixing containers in one stack or return loop.
