78 × 48 in is the longest footprint listed: more than six feet of inside length. It is used for the longest parts moved in returnable bins, such as bumper fascias, headliners, long trim and tube or bar stock that would otherwise ship in crates or racks. This page covers reconditioned 78 × 48 in collapsible bulk containers: the models and dimensions to expect, how to choose a height, and how to buy.
Reconditioned units in this footprint come from more than one maker. The table shows published dimensions for current new models as a reference; the maker and model of the units offered are confirmed in your quote.
| Model | Outside (L × W × H) | Inside (L × W × H) | Collapsed height |
|---|---|---|---|
| ORBIS HDR7848-25 | 77.6 × 48.4 × 25 in | 74.5 × 44.5 × 18.4 in | 13 in |
| ORBIS HDR7848-34 | 77.6 × 48.4 × 34 in | 74.5 × 44.5 × 27.2 in | 13 in |
Open height sets how much each container holds; collapsed height sets how many empties come back on a return trailer. In this footprint the HDR7848-25 stands 25 in open and folds to 13 in, while the HDR7848-34 stands 34 in open and folds to 13 in. Inside height is several inches less than outside height because of the base, so size the container from the inside dimensions and your part, not the nominal height.
Reconditioned containers are used units that have been inspected and repaired, and they ship from our yards in Pennsville, NJ and Tampa, FL. Listed reconditioned on this page: Reconditioned 78 × 48 × 25 in and Reconditioned 78 × 48 × 34 in. Ask which inspection, cleaning or part replacement was done if your application has specific requirements, and say whether units must match each other or an existing fleet.
Where cosmetic wear does not matter, used 78 × 48 in containers cost less. Where every unit must be the same model, see new 78 × 48 in containers.
| Footprint | Outside base (listed model) | Inside length × width | 53 ft trailer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 78 × 48 in | 77.6 × 48.4 in | 74.5 × 44.5 in | about 16 |
| 70 × 48 in | 70 × 48.4 in | 66.5 × 44.5 in | about 18 |
| 65 × 48 in | 64.5 × 48 in | 61.5 × 45 in | about 18 |
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.

78 × 48 in is the nominal footprint. As an example, the ORBIS HDR7848-34 measures 77.6 × 48.4 × 34 in outside and 74.5 × 44.5 × 27.2 in inside. Other makers and models differ slightly, so confirm the dimensions of the model offered before you plan racks, lids or stacking.
About 16 floor positions, loading two across with the 48 in side across the trailer. How many layers you can stack depends on the open height and the rated stacking capacity of the model, and collapsed empties stack several high in each position. Your carrier and the exact model decide the final count.
Used containers are sold as returned from service, with cosmetic wear. Reconditioned containers have been inspected and repaired before they ship. Ask which inspection, cleaning or part replacement was done if your application has specific requirements.
