How many pallets can fit in a 40ft container?

A 40ft shipping container holds about 25 Euro pallets (1.2 × 0.8 m) on the floor in a single layer. With double-stacking it can hold 50. A 40ft High Cube allows higher stacks of taller pallets. UK pallets (1.2 × 1 m) fit about 21 per 40ft floor. Industrial pallets vary in count.

Did you know?
Pallet capacity is often limited by layout rather than volume. A small gap repeated across multiple rows can add up to a surprising amount of unused space.
