How many 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes fit in a LWB panel van?
300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes of 300 × 300 × 300 mm (also called 30 cm cube boxes) in a Long-wheelbase panel van — inner dimensions 3,700 × 1,800 × 1,900 mm. Calculated by the Cubestow engine on 2026-09-08.
Boxes may be laid on any side. 51% of the space used, 6 layers high, about 1,200 kg (100% of payload). Payload-limited: 432 would fit by space alone. Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
A 30 cm cube. Cubes have only one orientation, so the answer is pure grid arithmetic — a good sanity check for any load plan.
Cargo area of a typical LWB high-roof van (Sprinter / Transit class): 3.7 m long between the bulkhead and the doors, 1.8 m wide at floor level, with wheel arches narrowing the floor to about 1.3 m in the middle — the plan here ignores the arches, so real loads may lose one row.
The simple grid estimate is 12 along the length × 6 across × 6 high = 432. The engine's validated plan holds 240, below the raw grid because the payload limit cap the load.

Frequently asked
How many 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes fit in a LWB panel van?
240 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes of 300 × 300 × 300 mm fit in a LWB panel van (inner dimensions 3,700 × 1,800 × 1,900 mm), boxes may be laid on any side. That uses 51% of the 12.7 m³ available and weighs about 1,200 kg.
What are the inner dimensions of a LWB panel van?
Typical inner dimensions are 3,700 mm long, 1,800 mm wide and 1,900 mm high (145.7 × 70.9 × 74.8 in), giving 12.7 m³ of space and a rated payload of about 1,200 kg. Individual units vary by a few centimetres, so check the actual box for tight loads.
Why does the payload limit matter for 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes?
Geometrically 432 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes would fit, but at about 5 kg each the LWB panel van's 1,200 kg payload is reached at 240. 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 all six orientations, 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.
