How many pallets can be placed in a standard container and a pallet wide container?

When planning the transportation of goods, it is crucial to use container space efficiently. Especially when it comes to goods placed on pallets, the correct choice of container type can significantly affect costs and logistics. This article focuses on how many pallets can be placed in a standard container and how many in a so-called “pallet wide” container.

Dimensions of pallets and containers

First, it is important to understand the dimensions of standard pallets and containers.

Euro pallets

• Dimensions of euro pallet: 1200 x 800 mm
• Usage: The most common type of pallet in Europe, commonly used in logistics and transport.

Standard containers

• Width: External width 2.438 m (2438 mm)
• Length: Available in lengths of 20 feet (6.058 m) and 40 feet (12.192 m)

Pallet wide containers

• Width: External width 2.462 m (2462 mm)
• Length: Available in 20 and 40-foot lengths, just like standard containers
• Advantage: Due to the slightly larger width, they allow placing two euro pallets side by side without extra unused space.

How many pallets fit into a standard container?

In a standard 20-foot container:

• Arrangement options:
  • One row of pallets: Pallets are placed lengthwise (pallet length 1200 mm) in one row.
  • Number of pallets: A standard 20-foot container can hold approximately 12 euro pallets lengthwise.
• Disadvantage: Due to the width of the container, it is not possible to place two pallets side by side, resulting in unused space.

In a standard 40-foot container:

• Arrangement options:
  • One row of pallets: As with the 20-foot container, pallets are placed lengthwise in one row.
  • Number of pallets: A standard 40-foot container can hold approximately 25 euro pallets lengthwise.
• Disadvantage: Again, it is not possible to effectively use the width for two pallets side by side.

How many pallets fit into a pallet wide container?

In a 20-foot pallet wide container:

• Arrangement options:
  • Two pallets side by side: Thanks to the increased width, it is possible to place two euro pallets side by side.
  • Number of pallets: A 20-foot pallet wide container can hold approximately 15 euro pallets (depending on the arrangement).
• Advantage: More efficient use of space and reduced number of containers required.

In a 40-foot pallet wide container:

• Arrangement options:
  • Two pallets side by side: As with the 20-foot container, it allows placing two pallets side by side.
  • Number of pallets: A 40-foot pallet wide container can hold approximately 30 euro pallets.

When to choose a standard container?

• Availability: Standard containers are generally more readily available than pallet wide containers.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of goods, not just palletized cargo.
• Price: Sometimes, the cost of renting or purchasing standard containers is lower.

When to choose a pallet wide container?

• Palletized goods: Ideal for transporting goods on euro pallets.
• Maximizing capacity: If the goal is to transport as much goods as possible in as few containers as possible.
• Specific logistical requirements: When it is important to minimize handling time and costs.

The choice between a standard and pallet wide container depends on the specific transport needs. If you are transporting a large amount of goods on euro pallets and want to maximize the container’s capacity, a pallet wide container is the ideal choice. On the other hand, if you need a universal solution for different types of cargo, a standard container might be more suitable.

Before making a decision, it is important to consider all factors, including costs, availability, and the specifics of the goods being transported. Consulting with logistics experts can help ensure that your goods arrive at their destination efficiently and safely.

Additional tips for efficient container use

• Loading planning: Proper arrangement of pallets can maximize space utilization.
• Cargo safety: Using securing devices and filler materials can prevent cargo movement during transport.
• Compliance with regulations: Ensure that the cargo meets all transport and safety standards.
• Container tracking: Modern technology allows real-time tracking of the container’s location and status.

Efficient use of containers is not only about cost but also sustainability and efficiency of the entire logistics chain. The right choice of container can have a significant impact on your business and customer satisfaction. Therefore, it is worth taking the time to plan and understand the options the market offers.
