Maximize Efficiency and Sustainability with the 45 x 48 x 48 Reusable Plastic Gaylord

Built for Durability and Long-Term Use

This reusable plastic Gaylord is engineered for heavy-duty performance, unlike single-use corrugated boxes that wear out quickly and need constant replacement. Its robust plastic construction resists moisture, crushing, and impact, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of repeated use and transportation. Molded of FDA-approved materials, the containers are collapsible and stackable, providing optimal space utilization. With 3,300 lbs. of product, you can achieve secure stacking up to five high. These 45 x 48 x 48 plastic gaylords are also easy to fill, discharge, and transport, substantially lowering packaging costs.

With dimensions of 45" x 48" x 48", this container offers ample capacity for bulk materials, making it ideal for food processing, agriculture, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, flowable resin, and powder materials. The large volume allows you to consolidate shipments, reduce trips, and significantly lower freight costs. The reinforced side walls have embedded steel rods to keep the walls from bowing from the pressure of being filled with dense product, and because of this, it is certified for rail shipping (AAR: GIS no. 695)

Protective Cover Included

Each 45 x 48 x 48 Reusable Plastic Gaylord, equipped with robust security features, comes with a fitted locking plastic lid, providing extra protection for your goods from contaminants. This feature is particularly valuable in environments where cleanliness and product integrity are priorities, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, or electronics manufacturing. The lid is secured to the gaylord by eight stainless steel posts embedded into the bin's walls. Metal locking latches lock the lid into place, keeping the lid securely attached to the gaylord container. 

Stackable and Efficient Design

The container's uniform footprint makes it easy to stack. Stacking ridges ensures that the lid and base interlock when stacked and collapsed, creating a safe, self-supporting column for storage and distribution. Long-term indoor or outdoor storage stacks can be stacked up to five high for extended storage; they eliminate the dangers of protruding nails, splinters, and sharp metal banding from wooden containers. It encourages efficient use of space in both storage and transit, allowing businesses to reduce warehousing costs while enhancing safety and organization. Furthermore, the lightweight plastic design, in contrast to metal alternatives, facilitates easy handling with forklifts or pallet jacks, thereby improving workflow efficiency without compromising load-bearing strength.
