40 x 48 International Collapsible Bulk Containers

Our International line of bulk containers has a 1200mm x 1000mm footprint, which is the standard size in global shipping. Aside from the footprint, this bin stands out for being 30% lighter than comparable bins while maintaining a 2,000 lb. capacity, resulting in lower fuel costs and easier handling. Replaceable fork straps and patented triple wall base are industry exclusive design features that combine to deliver product protection and long-term durability in the 40" x 48" international line of bulk containers. Typical applications include automotive and industrial manufacturing. The International line is available in three heights: 24", 34", and 39".
