Trailer Loading Calculator
Plan how many pallets fit in a European 13.6m curtainsider or a US 53ft dry van, or enter a custom trailer size, and check volume, weight and floor-space limits.

How this was calculated
This is a planning estimate. CBM alone does not guarantee physical fit – dimensions, orientation, stacking and clearance also matter. Confirm the final load plan with your carrier.
How this works
Choose a trailer type (or enter a custom internal length, width, height and payload), then a pallet type and how the cargo is loaded. The calculator tries two loading layouts - all pallets in one orientation, and a mixed layout that turns pallets 90 degrees in any leftover space - and uses whichever fits more, then checks that against the trailer's weight limit and volume.
This version plans a single product per shipment. Support for mixed product shipments is planned for a later update.
Important. Trailer internal dimensions and payload vary by manufacturer, tare weight and axle configuration. The figures used here for the European and US presets are typical values from published specifications, not a specific trailer's certified data. Always confirm the exact figures with your carrier or the vehicle's plate before finalising a shipment.
