Choosing used 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 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 48x45 options with current photos, exact dimensions, and load-rating information. Lids, drop doors, and compatible dividers must be checked against the offered model.

48 × 45 containers: fit, handling & options

Application

Assembly & returnable packaging

For stampings, subassemblies, and repeat supplier movements, compare how many protected parts fit per layer. The 48×45 family provides more nominal width than 48×40; usable space still depends on the walls, doors, and divider layout.

Configuration

Lids, drop doors & dividers

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.

Condition

Used-lot selection

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.

Frequently asked questions

Are 48x45 dimensions exact?

48x45 is the nominal size family. Use the quoted model’s actual outside dimensions for handling clearances and inside dimensions for part fit.

Which height should I choose for 48x45 containers?

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.

How is freight priced?

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.

How many 48 × 45 containers fit on a truck?

As a planning figure, a 53-ft dry van holds about 28 floor positions for a 48 × 45 footprint. Folded containers take far less space. We confirm the load plan with your quote.

Are containers sold empty?

Yes. Containers ship empty; any parts, dunnage or contents shown in photos are not included unless they are listed on your quote.

Can I return containers?

All sales are final. Confirm the dimensions, condition, rating and quantity on your quote before ordering, and ask for lot photos on used or reconditioned containers.
