How many skids can we fit into a van trailer?
Shipping & Logistics managers all need to know the basics of loading a van trailer. Whether you have a 48 foot trailer or 53 footer it will make a difference. If you have 40×48 skids you have the choice of running them straight into the trailer, pin-wheeling, or turning them all sideways.
The following scenarios would apply:
| 48 foot trailer: 24 skids loaded straight into the trailer 26 skids pin-wheeled 28 skids turned sideways |
53 foot trailer: 26 skids loaded straight into the trailer 28 skids pin-wheeled 30 skids turned sideways |
