Footprint in context
At 1140 × 1140 mm, the CP8 covers 135% of the floor area of an EPAL 1 and 105% of a 48 × 40 in pallet. Its sides are 44.9 and 44.9 inches. Of the ten containers and trailers in our tables, the 53 ft domestic high cube container takes the most, 26, and the 20 ft reefer container the fewest, 8. The 40 ft high cube reefer container uses its floor best with this pallet, at 98.4%.
