How many wine cases (12 × 750 ml) fit in a 7.5 t truck?
Wine cases (12 × 750 ml) of 330 × 250 × 170 mm (also called 12-bottle wine cartons) 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.
Boxes kept this-side-up (turned on the floor plane only). 7% of the space used, 14 layers high, about 2,800 kg (100% of payload). Payload-limited: 2,394 would fit by space alone. Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
A 12-bottle case of 750 ml wine, bottles lying down, measures about 330 × 250 × 170 mm and weighs 15–17 kg. Wine ships upright-case-only; the weight adds up quickly — a full 20ft of wine reaches the payload limit before the roof.
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 18 along the length × 9 across × 14 high = 2,268, or 24 × 7 × 14 = 2,352 with every piece turned. The engine's validated plan holds 175, below the raw grid because the payload limit cap the load.

Frequently asked
How many wine cases (12 × 750 ml) fit in a 7.5 t truck?
175 wine cases (12 × 750 ml) of 330 × 250 × 170 mm fit in a 7.5 t truck (inner dimensions 6,200 × 2,450 × 2,400 mm), boxes kept this-side-up (turned on the floor plane only). That uses 7% 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 wine cases (12 × 750 ml)?
Geometrically 2,394 wine cases (12 × 750 ml) would fit, but at about 16 kg each the 7.5 t truck's 2,800 kg payload is reached at 175. 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, 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.
