How many boxed washing machines fit in a 13.6 m trailer?
Boxed washing machines of 650 × 650 × 900 mm (also called front-load washers in cartons) in a 13.6 m curtainsider / box trailer (EU) — inner dimensions 13,600 × 2,450 × 2,700 mm. Calculated by the Cubestow engine on 2026-09-08.
Upright, stacked at most 2 high. 76% of the space used, 3 layers high, about 13,500 kg (56% 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.
The standard European semi-trailer. Curtainsiders are loaded from the side, so pallets can be turned freely; the 2,450 mm inner width is what makes three EUR pallets (3 × 800) fit across.
The simple grid estimate is 20 along the length × 3 across × 3 high = 180. Here no mixed pattern beats the best uniform grid, so the engine's plan is exactly that grid (180).

Frequently asked
How many boxed washing machines fit in a 13.6 m trailer?
180 boxed washing machines of 650 × 650 × 900 mm fit in a 13.6 m trailer (inner dimensions 13,600 × 2,450 × 2,700 mm), upright, stacked at most 2 high. That uses 76% of the 90.0 m³ available and weighs about 13,500 kg.
What are the inner dimensions of a 13.6 m trailer?
Typical inner dimensions are 13,600 mm long, 2,450 mm wide and 2,700 mm high (535.4 × 96.5 × 106.3 in), giving 90.0 m³ of space and a rated payload of about 24,000 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?
180 × 75 kg ≈ 13,500 kg, which is 56% of the 24,000 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.
