Layout
The best layout our engine found puts all 22 in a square grid. That covers 84.6% of the floor.
The same 22 pallets still fit after leaving 100 mm of length and 50 mm of width free for handling, so this layout has room to spare.
Floor and door
The EU 13.6 m curtainsider (Euroliner) has 33.8 m² of floor (364 sq ft) inside. In the same box an EPAL 1 takes 34 positions against 22 for the CP3, so the CP3 pallets cover 28.6 m² against 32.6 m² for EPAL 1.
The door opening is 2,480 mm wide, so the CP3, carried narrow side first, clears it by 1,340 mm.
Inputs
| Inside length × width | 13,620 × 2,480 mm |
|---|---|
| Inside height | 2,650 mm |
| Door opening, width × height | 2,480 × 2,750 mm |
| Guideline payload | not published by the source |
| CP3 footprint | 1,140 × 1,140 mm |
| Equipment source | DP World. source lists gross 39,000–41,000 kg and tare 6,880–7,100 kg, not a payload |
Height and weight
Empty CP3 pallets are 138 mm high. The lower of the inside height (2,650 mm) and the door height (2,750 mm) is 2,650 mm, so 19 fit in one stack and 418 across the 22 clearance positions, weighing about not published.
For loaded pallets stacked two high, each unit including its pallet can be at most 1,325 mm tall, which leaves 1,187 mm for goods on each CP3.

How this is computed
The engine tries every split of the deck into rows of pallets placed one way and rows placed the other way, along the length and across the width, and keeps the arrangement with the most pallets. It does not overhang, mix in other pallet sizes or allow for bulging goods. The methodology page explains each step, and the load planner runs the same code on your own dimensions.
