Choosing used 48 × 45 × 50 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. This 50-inch height family adds vertical space; check the loaded stack height and access to parts at the bottom.
For used containers, request current lot photos and check the base, hinges, latches, and doors. Brand, color, wear, and available quantity can vary by lot.
Request used 48x45x50 options with current photos, exact dimensions, and load-rating information. Lids, drop doors, and compatible dividers must be checked against the offered model.
We list 1 used 48 × 45 × 50 collapsible bulk containers. Empty weights run 155 lb per container, with rated loads of 1,800 lb. Every container is HDPE with 4-way forklift entry and folds flat for return shipping. Containers ship empty from our Tampa, FL yard; LTL freight is quoted to your delivery ZIP and full truckloads are quoted separately.
A 50-inch assembled height is the outside dimension. Usable inside depth is several inches less once the base, lid and any dividers are counted, so measure parts together with their packaging and check the loaded stack height in your racking or trailer.
