What are the interior dimensions of a 13.6m mega trailer?

A standard 13.6m mega trailer has interior dimensions of approximately 13,620 mm length x 2,480 mm width x 3,000 mm height, giving roughly 101 m3 of cargo volume - about 10 m3 more than a standard box trailer.

How many pallets fit in a 13.6m mega trailer?

33 Euro pallets (800 x 1,200 mm) in a single layer. The extra height (3,000 mm vs ~2,700 mm) allows double-stacking lighter pallets, up to 66 Euro pallet positions for stackable cargo.

What is the maximum payload of a 13.6m mega trailer?

Approximately 22,500 kg under the standard EU 40 t GVW limit. The mega trailer slightly lower tare (~8,000 kg vs ~8,500 kg for a standard box) gives it a marginally higher net payload.

What is the difference between a mega trailer and a standard 13.6m box trailer?

The only structural difference is interior height: 3,000 mm for the mega vs approximately 2,700 mm for a standard box trailer. Same floor length, same width, same EU axle limits.

What EU weight limits apply to a 13.6m mega trailer?

Standard EU Directive 96/53/EC limits: 40 t GVW for 5-axle combinations, 12 t steer axle, 11.5 t drive axle, 21 t bogie. Several EU countries allow up to 44 t for 6-axle combinations.

What types of freight are best suited for a mega trailer?

Lightweight, voluminous freight that fills the volume before hitting the weight limit: textiles, e-commerce fulfilment pallets, paper and packaging, foam products, plastic parts.

Are there height restrictions for mega trailers in Europe?

Yes. The increased overall height (typically 4,000-4,100 mm loaded) can restrict passage on routes with low bridges or older infrastructure. Check route-specific restrictions, particularly in Eastern Europe, the UK (4.2 m limit), and Scandinavia.
