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.
Nominal figures for this size. Exact dimensions, ratings and weights vary by manufacturer and model, so confirm them on your quote.

Manufacturer figures for new models. Reconditioned lots can mix brands and models, so confirm dimensions, doors and rating for the units quoted.
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.
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.
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.
48x45x48 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 48-inch outside height does not provide 48 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.

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