Compare reconditioned 78x48 collapsible bulk containers by height, Orbis options, condition, and delivered cost. Request a quote. The 78×48 family provides the longest nominal footprint in this site’s main size guide. Check loading access and handling space carefully; outside length alone does not establish part fit. Compare 25, 34-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. Model dimensions and ratings above are listed specifications. Ask us to confirm the exact model and availability for your order. The 78 × 48 footprint is a long-format container for large or long parts such as panels, trim and assemblies. Check fork length, rack depth and dock-door clearance before ordering.

Manufacturer figures for new models. Reconditioned lots can mix brands and models, so confirm dimensions, doors and rating for the units quoted.
For large panels, fabricated assemblies, or bulky lightweight parts, compare the 78×48 family with the complete packed load. Review floor space, fork handling, and operator access together; a longer base alone does not guarantee a workable loading process.
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.
78x48 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. Compare the listed height options after confirming the part’s orientation.
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 16 floor positions for a 78 × 48 footprint. Folded containers take far less space. We confirm the load plan with your quote.
