New 48x40x46 collapsible bulk containers. Compare nominal and model dimensions, specifications, and delivered pricing for your quantity. 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. This 46-inch height family adds vertical space; check the loaded stack height and access to parts at the bottom. For a new-container purchase, specify the manufacturer and model when consistent dimensions, lids, or replacement parts matter. Model dimensions and ratings above are listed specifications. Ask us to confirm the exact model and availability for your order. 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 46-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.

Consider the 48×40 family for parts staging, warehouse transfers, and repeat movements through a facility. Match the actual base to the equipment and pallet position; the nominal footprint does not by itself establish rack or conveyor compatibility.
With a nominal 46-inch height, 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.
New containers suit programs that need a specified manufacturer and configuration across repeated purchases. Confirm the exact model, accessories, documentation, and production or stock lead time when pricing the order.
48x40x46 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. A 46-inch outside height does not provide 46 inches of usable depth.
No. Footprint and assembled height define this browse path, but model-specific capacity, collapsed height, doors, and stack ratings must be confirmed.
Choose the relevant condition, then submit quantity and destination ZIP code so inventory and freight can be checked together.
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 30 floor positions for a 48 × 40 footprint, or about 60 assembled empty 48 × 40 × 46 containers stacked 2 high. Folded containers take far less space. We confirm the load plan with your quote.
Yes. Containers ship empty; any parts, dunnage or contents shown in photos are not included unless they are listed on your quote.
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.
