48×40 Rigid Bulk Container, 36 in, 2-Runner

The same box comes on two runners or on nine legs, and this is not a cosmetic option:

• RC-121, two runners, 100.31 lb. The runners are what make it

rack-capable, and it carries a published racking load of 2,205 lb (1,000 kg).

• RC-121-9L, nine legs, 98.11 lb. What it gains is **pallet jack

access from all four sides, and a documented castor option**.

If the box is going on beams, take the runners. If it is being moved by jack in a tight aisle, or you want it on wheels, take the legs. Load ratings, footprint, capacity and freight are identical either way.

Both bases snap on, so the feet are replaceable parts rather than part of the moulding.

• Outside 47.24 × 39.37 × 36.02 in (1200 × 1000 × 915 mm)
• Inside 43.70 × 35.43 × 27.56 in (1110 × 900 × 700 mm)
• 185 US gal (700 L)

Of the 36.02 in overall, 33.46 in (850 mm) is the box itself and the remaining 2.56 in (65 mm) is the feet. The wall section is 45 mm at the ends, which is what the 90 mm lost between the 1200 mm outside and the 1110 mm inside works out to. Dimensions carry a ±5 mm production tolerance.

• Static load 11,023 lb (5,000 kg)
• Stacking load 11,023 lb (5,000 kg)
• Dynamic load 2,205 lb (1,000 kg)
• Racking load 2,205 lb (1,000 kg), on the runner build only

All assume an evenly distributed load and fall with a concentrated or point load. The stacking figure comes from the datasheets, which is worth knowing because it is not always listed alongside the other ratings.

Walls and base are both closed, so nothing escapes through the sides. The walls carry an external rib grid, and the underside of the base is a diamond lattice. Corners are rounded.

The base stands on nine feet, 150 mm across, leaving clear openings of 375 mm along the long side and 275 mm along the short side. Those are the numbers to check a fork or a jack against, and they close exactly against the 1200 and 1000 footprint.

The material used to make this box is food-grade, and both datasheets carry the glass-and-fork food-contact symbol. The specification row still lists the material as HDPE without qualification, and that is what is published above. Food-contact certification is available on request.

Vegetables, fresh and dried fruit, nuts, small parts and loose bulk goods, across the food industry, agriculture and industrial production. It adapts very well to automatic conveying systems.

Handled with a forklift, reach truck or hand pallet jack.

Washable and suitable for disinfection. Resistant to water, to airborne environmental pollutants and to corrosive chemicals.

Logo printed or embossed, both offered, in an 80 × 70 mm panel on the long side. RFID transponders can be integrated for pool tracking. Supplied in grey, white, navy or blue, with other colours to order.

104 per jumbo trailer and 84 in a 40 ft high cube. If empty return freight is the problem you are solving, ask us about the collapsible and nestable ranges instead.
