When the boxes come back empty, they collapse to cut freight and storage space. Buckhorn lists a return ratio of 2.7:1 for the 34.5 in. box and 3.6:1 for the 46 in. box, and 210 or 240 collapsed boxes per truck. Plastic runners or feet under the base support stacking and fork entry from all four sides.
Both models carry a 1,200 lb load rating. That is the weight a single box can hold, which is separate from how many loaded boxes can stack on top of each other. Buckhorn’s sheet does not list a stacking rating, so confirm it with Buckhorn before you stack loaded boxes.
Product Lines
The 34.5 in. box is 48 x 40 x 34.5 in. outside and 45 x 37 x 27 in. inside. It holds 28.3 cu ft, weighs 129 lb, sits on a 5-rail base and has its two drop doors on the length. The 46 in. box is 48 x 40 x 46 in. outside and 45 x 37 x 40 in. inside. It holds 38.5 cu ft, weighs 142 lb, sits on a 9-feet base and has its two drop doors on the width. Fork tunnels are 13 in. long on the 48 in. sides and 12 in. long on the 40 in. sides, each 3.5 to 4 in. high.
Selecting the Right Model
◆ Choose 34.5 in. when rack or trailer clearance limits stack height, and 46 in. when you need more volume from the same footprint. The taller box also collapses more tightly (3.6:1 against 2.7:1).
◆ Check which side the drop doors are on. Doors on the length (34.5 in.) face a different aisle or conveyor side than doors on the width (46 in.).
◆ Add the box weight (129 or 142 lb) to the load when you check forklift and rack capacity.
◆ Confirm the stacking rating for your handling method before you stack loaded boxes.
◆ For heavier loads, look at the Buckhorn BH-Series heavy duty bulk containers, which share the 48 x 40 footprint.
