Both models are rated for 2,000 lb. That is the weight a single container can hold, which is separate from how many loaded containers can stack on top of each other. Buckhorn’s datasheet lists no stack rating for the BE-Series, so confirm it with Buckhorn before you stack loaded containers.
When the containers return empty, both collapse to 21.0 in. high. Buckhorn lists a return ratio of 2:1 for the 44 in. model and 1.7:1 for the 50 in. model, with 104 or 78 collapsed containers on a 53 ft truck against 52 assembled.

BE484544BO is 48 x 45 x 44 in. outside and 44.5 x 41.5 in. inside, with a usable inside height of 37 in., a volume of 39.5 cu ft and a weight of 206 lb. BE484550BO is 48 x 45 x 50 in. outside and 44.5 x 41.5 in. inside, with a usable inside height of 43 in., a volume of 46.0 cu ft and a weight of 226 lb. Both are rated for 2,000 lb and collapse to 21.0 in. Fork tunnels are 11.6 in. wide by 3.3 in. high on the long sides and 11.9 in. wide by 3.4 in. high on the short sides.
Selecting the Right Model
◆ Choose 44 in. when rack or trailer clearance limits stack height, and 50 in. for more volume in the same footprint. The 44 in. container also returns more units per truck (2:1 against 1.7:1).
◆ Check which side the drop doors are on before you set up picking. Both models have two deep drop doors on the length.
◆ Add the container weight (206 or 226 lb) to the load when you check forklift and rack capacity.
◆ Fork tunnels are 3.3 to 3.4 in. high, so check the height of your fork or pallet jack tines before you rely on them.
◆ Compare Buckhorn lines on the same 48 x 45 footprint. The BN-Series offers six heights from 25 to 51 in. at 2,000 to 2,500 lb, and the BH-Series is a 48 x 40 container rated for 2,500 lb in two heights.
◆ Confirm the stacking rating for your handling method before you stack loaded containers.
