Dry van 48’
The 48-footer does not exist to carry less: it exists to get in where the 53-footer cannot manoeuvre.
Also called : 48-foot van, van 48, short enclosed trailer
A tight yard, a commercial street, an angled dock, a shared parking lot: five feet less often changes the answer to “can the truck back in here”. On those sites, a 48-footer delivers in one visit where a 53-footer means a transfer or a refusal.
The trade-off is arithmetic: less floor, so fewer pallets per trip. If access is not an issue, the 53-footer remains the best price per pallet. Give us the delivery address and we will make the call.
What goes in it
- Urban delivery
- Restricted-access yards and docks
- Mid-volume palletized loads
- Sites without a long manoeuvring area
