Refrigerated semi-trailer. Insulated walls and the cooling unit make the internal size slightly smaller than a curtainsider.
The engine's layout
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.

Its internal length is 13,300 mm, so the floor is 13.3 LDM. A Euro pallet takes 0.4 LDM and an industrial pallet 0.5 LDM; the 33 Euro pallets on the floor come to 13.2 LDM.
How many cartons fit in a Reefer trailer?
858 standard 600 × 400 × 400 mm cartons fit, a volume utilisation of 96.8%. With heavy cartons the limit is the payload rather than the volume.
