You will need a three step ladder to put things in the top shelves!!
I installed 36" units in our kitchen and a stool is required to access
the top shelf safely.

We are considering place Kitchen-like cabinets in our utility room.
We
would like ones that would go above the washer and dryer that are 48"
tall. Is this a standard size for upper cabinets.
Thank you in advance.

My kitchen cabinets are stick built and go all the way up to the
ceiling. We cannot reach the top shelf, but we're both short.
However, it sure is nice to have that 3rd shelf for items that we
don't use very often.
I also love the wide open space of a 4 door unit with no separation
between the bays.

The OP might have a front load washer.

Off the shelf wall cabinets start at 30" tall. You are unlikely to find
a 48" tall wall cabinet unless it is special order, or made custom made
locally.

This site says:
"The height of a wall cabinet with a full soffit will be at 30=E2=80=B3 and
42=E2=80=B3 without a soffit."

It isn't a standard height but you can have them built or DIY.

********************
I usually build 40" upper cabinets. That might be too tall for above a
washer. If not available, use shorter ones lower on the wall, and use the
space above them for storage. You can make a top and bottom track with two
3/16" dados and make bypass sliding doors to hide the stuff.

Mine are 30". If I used 48", we could not reach the top shelf and not
open the lid of the washer.

As you say, it is a utility room and not fashion dependent like a
kitchen may be. Size is entirely based on your needs and wants. Build
them as big as the available area and benefit from that storage area.
My opinion.
