How it was calculated

Pallet and carton counts were calculated with the StowCargo packing engine: pallets in a single layer on the floor (not stacked), cartons in any orientation and weightless (dimensions only). No gap is left between pallets; in practice one row may be planned less to allow for forklift and securing clearance. Internal dimensions are typical values and can differ by a few centimetres between manufacturers and vehicles.
