Pallet & Container Fit Reference

Compare tested one-tier layouts for named pallet and dry-container pairs. Keep floor fit separate from doors, cargo payload and load stability.

LOOK UP & COMPARE

Search within the verified subset. Numeric sizes match complete designations; a nearby size is a candidate, not an exact match.

How to use this data

Reuse the existing pack2D engine: pure grids, rotations and two-block splits. Divide occupied deck area by interior floor area. No stacking or payload capacity is inferred from a position count.

    CHECK THE METHOD

    Worked example

    EPAL 1200×800 paired with the 5900×2352 mm interior compares both rotations and split layouts. Continue to Pallets per Container for loaded height and mass constraints.

    Common lookup questions

    What should I confirm before using this lookup?

    This is the best tested geometric layout, not proof of global optimality or operational loadability. Loaded heights, doors, weight and stability must be checked separately.

    TRACEABLE DATA

    Sources, scope & verification
