How many bicycle boxes fit in a 7.5 t truck?

Bicycle boxes of 1,400 × 220 × 800 mm (also called bike cartons) 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.

The answer in detail

A standard adult bicycle carton is about 1,400 × 220 × 800 mm (bike partially disassembled) and weighs 15–20 kg. Boxes are kept upright and are typically stacked no more than three high.

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 4 along the length × 11 across × 3 high = 132. The engine found 138 — 6 more than either uniform grid — by mixing orientations so that the leftover strip along the wall is used and by choosing the orientation that gives the most layers. The top view above shows the pattern.

Frequently asked

How many bicycle boxes fit in a 7.5 t truck?

138 bicycle boxes of 1,400 × 220 × 800 mm fit in a 7.5 t truck (inner dimensions 6,200 × 2,450 × 2,400 mm), upright, stacked at most 3 high. That uses 93% of the 36.5 m³ available and weighs about 2,484 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.

How much does a full load of bicycle boxes weigh?

138 × 18 kg ≈ 2,484 kg, which is 89% of the 2,800 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.

Other cargo in a 7.5 t truck

Assumptions. Cargo is modelled as rigid rectangular boxes with the outer dimensions above; the container's typical inner dimensions and rated payload are used; every box needs at least 80% of its base supported; no dunnage, straps or door clearance are reserved. The plan is one of many optimal or near-optimal arrangements — the engine's plan was checked for overlaps, support, orientation and weight, and the count is what it achieved within 0.7 s of search. Real containers vary by manufacturer; measure yours for tight loads.
