Choosing reconditioned 48 × 40 containers
The 48 × 40 footprint matches the standard GMA pallet used across North American warehouses, pallet racking and trailers, so it drops into most existing handling systems.
A nominal 48×40 footprint is useful when the handling system is already organized around that pallet size. Model dimensions can differ from the size-family label, so check rack and conveyor clearances against the exact container. Compare 30, 34, 39, 46-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.
