How many pallets fit in a 26-foot box truck
How many pallets fit in a 26-foot box truck: 12 GMA 48 × 40 (6 pairs). Mixed orientation rarely beats that on a 96 inch floor. Euro pallets typically fit 14–16. Cargo body about 312 × 96 × 96 in. Payload is often 6,000–10,000 lb — dense grocery pallets hit weight after a handful of units.

Pallets on the floor
Double-stack assumes a ~48 in cargo height plus deck still clears the interior. Payload often binds first.

Interiors vary by manufacturer. This is a planning floor, not a VIN spec.
Formula
Integer pack of pallet L×W on the cargo floor. Mixed orientation optional. Payload cap is listed, not enforced in the mini checker — weigh your units.
Questions
How many pallets fit in a 26-foot box truck?
Straight 12 GMA; optimized 12. Euro 1200×800 mm about 15. Payload typically 10,000 lb — often the real cap.
Single vs double stack?
Floor counts above are single stack. Double-stack if cargo height × 2 plus decks clears the interior and the freight is rated to stack.
