How many boxed washing machines fit in a 12 t truck?
Boxed washing machines of 650 × 650 × 900 mm (also called front-load washers in cartons) in a 12-tonne box truck — inner dimensions 7,300 × 2,480 × 2,500 mm. Calculated by the Cubestow engine on 2026-09-08.
Upright, stacked at most 2 high. 55% of the space used, 2 layers high, about 4,950 kg (90% of payload). Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
A boxed front-loading washing machine is about 650 × 650 × 900 mm and 70–80 kg. Packaging is rated for stacking two high, which is how they travel in containers.
A 7.3 m rigid body with around 5.5 t of payload — the usual size for regional pallet distribution.
The simple grid estimate is 11 along the length × 3 across × 2 high = 66. Here no mixed pattern beats the best uniform grid, so the engine's plan is exactly that grid (66).

Frequently asked
How many boxed washing machines fit in a 12 t truck?
66 boxed washing machines of 650 × 650 × 900 mm fit in a 12 t truck (inner dimensions 7,300 × 2,480 × 2,500 mm), upright, stacked at most 2 high. That uses 55% of the 45.3 m³ available and weighs about 4,950 kg.
What are the inner dimensions of a 12 t truck?
Typical inner dimensions are 7,300 mm long, 2,480 mm wide and 2,500 mm high (287.4 × 97.6 × 98.4 in), giving 45.3 m³ of space and a rated payload of about 5,500 kg. Individual units vary by a few centimetres, so check the actual box for tight loads.
How much does a full load of boxed washing machines weigh?
66 × 75 kg ≈ 4,950 kg, which is 90% of the 5,500 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.
