How many EUR pallets fit in a 7.5 t truck?
EUR pallets of 1,200 × 800 × 1,000 mm (also called Euro pallets, EPAL pallets, 1200 × 800 pallets) 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.
Single layer, floor-loaded (standard practice). 18% of the space used, 1 layer high, about 2,800 kg (100% of payload). Payload-limited: 15 would fit by space alone. Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
The EUR/EPAL pallet (1,200 × 800 mm) is the standard exchange pallet in Europe. Because it is narrower than the UK/industrial pallet, containers take a mix of pallets turned lengthways and crossways.
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 5 along the length × 3 across × 1 high = 15. The engine's validated plan holds 7, below the raw grid because the payload limit cap the load.
Variants
| Loading rule | Fits | Layers | Volume used | Total weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single layer, floor-loaded (standard practice) (headline figure) | 7 | 1 | 18% | 2,800 kg (100% of payload) |
| Double-stacked (only if each loaded pallet is at most 1,200 mm tall and rated to carry another) | 7 | 2 | 18% | 2,800 kg (100% of payload) |

Frequently asked
How many EUR pallets fit in a 7.5 t truck?
7 EUR pallets of 1,200 × 800 × 1,000 mm fit in a 7.5 t truck (inner dimensions 6,200 × 2,450 × 2,400 mm), single layer, floor-loaded (standard practice). That uses 18% of the 36.5 m³ available and weighs about 2,800 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 EUR pallets?
Geometrically 15 EUR pallets would fit, but at about 400 kg each the 7.5 t truck's 2,800 kg payload is reached at 7. 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, no stacking 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.
