Compare used 78x48 collapsible bulk containers by height, condition, and delivered cost. Request a quote. The 78×48 family provides the longest nominal footprint in this site’s main size guide. Check loading access and handling space carefully; outside length alone does not establish part fit. Compare 25, 34-inch nominal heights to balance part clearance with handling access. 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 78x48 options with current photos, exact dimensions, and load-rating information. Lids, drop doors, and compatible dividers must be checked against the offered model. The 78 × 48 footprint is a long-format container for large or long parts such as panels, trim and assemblies. Check fork length, rack depth and dock-door clearance before ordering.

Manufacturer figures for new models. Used lots can mix brands and models, so confirm dimensions, doors and rating for the units quoted.
For large panels, fabricated assemblies, or bulky lightweight parts, compare the 78×48 family with the complete packed load. Review floor space, fork handling, and operator access together; a longer base alone does not guarantee a workable loading process.
Allow for the space taken by dividers, foam, or other part protection. Specify the access side and opening needed for loading. Match lids and replacement components to the manufacturer and model; a shared footprint is not enough to establish compatibility.
For used containers, the offered lot is the starting point. Compare current photos, structural condition, model mix, and quantity. Ask for the actual rating and stacking instructions for the units supplied, especially when adding them to an existing fleet.
78x48 is the nominal size family. Use the quoted model’s actual outside dimensions for handling clearances and inside dimensions for part fit.
Measure the parts together with dividers or packaging, then check usable inside height and the maximum loaded stack height. Compare the listed height options after confirming the part’s orientation.
Orders ship by LTL freight, quoted to your delivery ZIP code at checkout or on your quote. Full truckloads are quoted separately, so send your quantity and ZIP code for a truckload price.
As a planning figure, a 53-ft dry van holds about 16 floor positions for a 78 × 48 footprint. Folded containers take far less space. We confirm the load plan with your quote.
