How many half pallets fit in a 7.5 t truck?
Half pallets of 800 × 600 × 900 mm (also called Düsseldorfer pallets, 800 × 600 pallets, display 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). 17% of the space used, 1 layer high, about 2,800 kg (100% of payload). Payload-limited: 31 would fit by space alone. Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
The 800 × 600 mm half pallet ("Düsseldorfer") is the retail display pallet. Three fit across a 2,352 mm container with the 600 mm side across (3 × 600 = 1,800 mm), and the plan mixes in turned pallets to use the remaining width.
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 7 along the length × 4 across × 1 high = 28, or 10 × 3 × 1 = 30 with every piece turned. The engine's validated plan holds 14, 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) | 14 | 1 | 17% | 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) | 14 | 2 | 17% | 2,800 kg (100% of payload) |

Frequently asked
How many half pallets fit in a 7.5 t truck?
14 half pallets of 800 × 600 × 900 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 17% 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 half pallets?
Geometrically 31 half pallets would fit, but at about 200 kg each the 7.5 t truck's 2,800 kg payload is reached at 14. 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.
