How many boxed refrigerators fit in a LWB panel van?
Boxed refrigerators of 700 × 750 × 1,850 mm (also called fridge-freezers in cartons) in a Long-wheelbase panel van — inner dimensions 3,700 × 1,800 × 1,900 mm. Calculated by the Cubestow engine on 2026-09-08.
Upright, single layer (not stacked). 77% of the space used, 1 layer high, about 900 kg (75% of payload). Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
A boxed freestanding fridge-freezer is roughly 700 × 750 × 1,850 mm and 80–100 kg. Manufacturers ship them upright, unstacked, so the answer is a single floor layer — which is why fridges are usually loaded in high cubes with lighter cargo on top of nothing at all.
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 5 along the length × 2 across × 1 high = 10. Here no mixed pattern beats the best uniform grid, so the engine's plan is exactly that grid (10).

Frequently asked
How many boxed refrigerators fit in a LWB panel van?
10 boxed refrigerators of 700 × 750 × 1,850 mm fit in a LWB panel van (inner dimensions 3,700 × 1,800 × 1,900 mm), upright, single layer (not stacked). That uses 77% of the 12.7 m³ available and weighs about 900 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.
How much does a full load of boxed refrigerators weigh?
10 × 90 kg ≈ 900 kg, which is 75% of the 1,200 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, 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.
