How many industrial pallets fit in a 40-foot ISO container?

A standard 40-foot ISO container has an internal length of approximately 12,032mm and an internal width of approximately 2,352mm. Loading industrial pallets with the 1000mm dimension running along the container length produces approximately 12 rows × 2 pallets per row — each pair spanning 2,000mm within the 2,352mm internal width — giving 24 pallets per 40-foot container. Pallet-wide containers with an internal width of approximately 2,440mm were developed to improve loading clearance for the 1000mm-wide industrial format alongside the euro pallet and are used on intra-European and export sea freight lanes.
