Choosing reconditioned 48 × 45 × 48 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. This 48-inch height family adds vertical space; check the loaded stack height and access to parts at the bottom.

For reconditioned containers, request the inspection scope and photos of the offered lot, including hinges, latches, base, and drop doors.

Model dimensions and ratings above are listed specifications. Ask us to confirm the exact model and availability for your order.

We list 1 reconditioned 48 × 45 × 48 collapsible bulk containers. Empty weights run 188 lb per container, with rated loads of 1,700 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.

A 48-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.

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

With a nominal 48-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.

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 48x45x48 dimensions exact?

48x45x48 is the nominal size family. Use the quoted model’s actual outside dimensions for handling clearances and inside dimensions for part fit.

Should I choose 48-inch containers or another height?

Measure the parts together with dividers or packaging, then check usable inside height and the maximum loaded stack height. A 48-inch outside height does not provide 48 inches of usable depth.

Are dimensions and load ratings identical across brands?

No. Footprint and assembled height define this browse path, but model-specific capacity, collapsed height, doors, and stack ratings must be confirmed.

How do I receive delivered pricing?

Choose the relevant condition, then submit quantity and destination ZIP code so inventory and freight can be checked together.

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, or about 56 assembled empty 48 × 45 × 48 containers stacked 2 high. 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.
