A 48 × 28 in container keeps the 48 in length that pallet-handling equipment expects and narrows the width to 28 in. That makes it a line-side and narrow-aisle container: it can be presented long side to the operator, and two rows fit where a single row of wider bins would. This page covers new 48 × 28 in collapsible bulk containers: the models and dimensions to expect, how to choose a height, and how to buy.
New containers are manufacturer models made to order. No new model is listed in this footprint yet, so it is handled as a sourcing request and the model is confirmed in your quote. New containers ship by freight quoted to your ZIP; the minimum order and lead time for each model are confirmed in the quote. Send the model or a drawing, quantity, door and base configuration, and timing.
For smaller quantities from yard stock, compare reconditioned and used 48 × 28 in containers.

|---|---|---|---|
| 48 × 28 in | Confirm in quote | Confirm in quote | Confirm in quote |
| 24 × 44 in | 44.5 × 24 in | 41 × 21 in | 208 assembled; 468 collapsed (BC 2444-25) |

Trailer figures for the long bases are floor positions, two across, worked out from the outside length and a 53 ft van about 630 in long inside. Figures shown with a model number are the manufacturer's assembled and collapsed counts. Your carrier's trailer and the exact model decide the real number.

48 × 28 in is the nominal footprint, and exact outside and inside dimensions depend on the maker and model. This footprint is handled as a sourcing request, so the model and its measured dimensions are confirmed in your quote before you order.
Yes. New containers are made to order, so the minimum follows the factory production run and is confirmed in your quote along with lead time. Used and reconditioned containers from our yards are usually available in smaller quantities.
