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.

We list 6 reconditioned 48 × 40 collapsible bulk containers, in 6 heights from 25 to 46 inches. Empty weights run 130.7–159.2 lb per container, with rated loads of 1,800–2,000 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.

48 × 40 containers: fit, handling & options

Application

Parts flow & standard pallet positions

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.

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

Reconditioned-lot selection

Reconditioned containers should be evaluated against the seller’s stated cleaning, inspection, and repair scope. Request current photos and confirm that the quoted lot meets your operation’s requirements for appearance, function, and model consistency.

Frequently asked questions

Are 48x40 dimensions exact?

48x40 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 48x40 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 × 40 containers fit on a truck?

As a planning figure, a 53-ft dry van holds about 30 floor positions for a 48 × 40 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.
