Worked out from the verified floor length 1,810mm, 1,248mm between the wheel arches, 1,215mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 360kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,065mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
