How many 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) fit in a 13.6 m trailer?
1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) of 1,000 × 1,000 × 1,000 mm (also called one cubic metre wooden crates) in a 13.6 m curtainsider / box trailer (EU) — inner dimensions 13,600 × 2,450 × 2,700 mm. Calculated by the Cubestow engine on 2026-09-08.
Upright, stacked as high as the roof allows. 58% of the space used, 2 layers high, about 15,600 kg (65% of payload). Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
A one-cubic-metre wooden crate at 300 kg is a useful reference unit: the count is simply how many whole metres fit along, across and up — after which the payload limit takes over.
The standard European semi-trailer. Curtainsiders are loaded from the side, so pallets can be turned freely; the 2,450 mm inner width is what makes three EUR pallets (3 × 800) fit across.
The simple grid estimate is 13 along the length × 2 across × 2 high = 52. Here no mixed pattern beats the best uniform grid, so the engine's plan is exactly that grid (52).

Frequently asked
How many 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) fit in a 13.6 m trailer?
52 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) of 1,000 × 1,000 × 1,000 mm fit in a 13.6 m trailer (inner dimensions 13,600 × 2,450 × 2,700 mm), upright, stacked as high as the roof allows. That uses 58% of the 90.0 m³ available and weighs about 15,600 kg.
What are the inner dimensions of a 13.6 m trailer?
Typical inner dimensions are 13,600 mm long, 2,450 mm wide and 2,700 mm high (535.4 × 96.5 × 106.3 in), giving 90.0 m³ of space and a rated payload of about 24,000 kg. Individual units vary by a few centimetres, so check the actual box for tight loads.
How much does a full load of 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) weigh?
52 × 300 kg ≈ 15,600 kg, which is 65% of the 24,000 kg payload — so this load is limited by space, not weight.
How was this number calculated?
By running the Cubestow 3D load-planning engine on the exact dimensions above, allowing rotation on the floor plane only, stacking with at least 80% base support and the container's payload limit, then re-validating the plan for overlaps, support and weight. Real loads leave room for dunnage, door clearance and uneven cartons, so treat the figure as the practical maximum.
