How many 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) fit in a 7.5 t truck?
1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) of 1,000 × 1,000 × 1,000 mm (also called one cubic metre wooden crates) in a 7.5-tonne box truck — inner dimensions 6,200 × 2,450 × 2,400 mm. Calculated by the Cubestow engine on 2026-09-08.
Upright, stacked as high as the roof allows. 25% of the space used, 2 layers high, about 2,700 kg (96% of payload). Payload-limited: 24 would fit by space alone. 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.
Typical 7.5 t rigid with a 6.2 m body. Payload is limited to roughly 2.8 t once the body and tail-lift are accounted for, so heavy cargo fills the weight allowance long before the space.
The simple grid estimate is 6 along the length × 2 across × 2 high = 24. The engine's validated plan holds 9, below the raw grid because the payload limit cap the load.

Frequently asked
How many 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) fit in a 7.5 t truck?
9 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) of 1,000 × 1,000 × 1,000 mm fit in a 7.5 t truck (inner dimensions 6,200 × 2,450 × 2,400 mm), upright, stacked as high as the roof allows. That uses 25% of the 36.5 m³ available and weighs about 2,700 kg.
What are the inner dimensions of a 7.5 t truck?
Typical inner dimensions are 6,200 mm long, 2,450 mm wide and 2,400 mm high (244.1 × 96.5 × 94.5 in), giving 36.5 m³ of space and a rated payload of about 2,800 kg. Individual units vary by a few centimetres, so check the actual box for tight loads.
Why does the payload limit matter for 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m)?
Geometrically 24 1 m³ crates (1 × 1 × 1 m) would fit, but at about 300 kg each the 7.5 t truck's 2,800 kg payload is reached at 9. Heavy cargo fills the weight allowance before the space.
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.
