The 36 × 45 in base shares its 45 in side with the 48 × 45 in footprint and shortens the other side to 36 in. It is a less common size, so the maker and model matter more than usual. Buyers usually ask for it to match containers already in a loop, or to fit a cell or rack bay that a 48 in side will not clear. This page covers used 36 × 45 in collapsible bulk containers: the models and dimensions to expect, how to choose a height, and how to buy.
Used containers are sold as returned from service. Expect scuffs, old labels and cosmetic wear, and check walls, hinges, drop doors, latches and the base on the units offered. Used supply in this footprint arrives in batches as returnable-packaging programs change over, so it is not always on the page. When nothing is listed above, send the request and we check our Pennsville, NJ and Tampa, FL yards and current supply for the height you need. Tell us whether units must match each other, how much cosmetic wear is acceptable, and the model you already run if these are joining an existing fleet.
If you need a known standard of preparation, compare reconditioned 36 × 45 in containers. If you need an exact model in quantity, see new 36 × 45 in containers.

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.
