Within standard trailer limits: 13.20 LDM and 23.5 t remaining capacity.

## How LDM is calculated

**Formula**LDM = (length × width) ÷ 240 cm, based on the standard 2.4 m trailer interior width.

**Stackable goods**When stackable is on, the LDM is halved. The carrier can stack other goods on top, using vertical space twice.

**Euro pallet (120×80 cm)**0.400 LDM non-stackable, or 0.200 LDM stackable. Fits 33-34 per full trailer.

**Standard trailer**13.6 m × 2.4 m, max \~24 t payload. Megatrailers can carry up to 13.6 m at 2.7 m interior height.
