There is a limit of 30 pallets that can fit on the floor of a trailer that is 53 feet in length. Standard pallets are 40 inches by 48 inches; to fit 30 pallets inside a trailer, you’ll need to stack them in two rows with the wider sides facing the front and back.
Stacking pallets in two rows with the shorter sides facing forward is another frequent arrangement. It is possible to fit twenty-six pallets inside a trailer in this way. The “chimney style” or “pinwheel style” is a third method of stacking pallets. Using this layout, a pallet with the wide side facing forward is loaded immediately next to a pallet with the narrow side facing forward. With this layout, a 53-foot-long trailer can hold 28 pallets.
Typically, only 20 or so pallets will fit onto a 53-foot trailer. The number of pallets that can be loaded onto a trailer depends on a variety of parameters, including the pallets’ weight, overhang, configuration, and any non-standard pallet sizes. The maximum load of the vehicle is one of the primary constraints on the number of pallets a trailer-truck may safely transport. If you pack each pallet down with heavy goods, the truck can only hold fewer of them. Overhanging cargo reduces the amount of pallets that can be loaded into a trailer.
