Question
A 20ft shipping container holds about 11 Euro pallets on the floor in a single layer. With double-stacking it can hold 22. UK pallets (1.2 × 1 m) fit 9 to 10 per 20ft floor. The exact count depends on pallet size and how snug the load is packed. Always allow 5 to 10 cm clearance against walls.
Did you know?
The difference between fitting 10 pallets and 11 pallets may come down to pallet dimensions rather than container size. Small variations in standards can have a big effect on capacity.
