13.6 m trailer dimensions
Inside a 13.6 m trailer: 13,620 × 2,450 × 2,500 mm (1,362 × 245 × 250 cm) — 83.4 m³ (2,946 cu ft), up to 24,000 kg (24 t) of cargo.
13.6 m curtainsider. These are the smallest inside sizes among the mainstream makers and fleets we read, and the lowest weight rating — a load planned on them also fits the bigger ones. The volume 83.4 m³ is length × width × height of the numbers below. How many tons: 24 t (52,911 lb) of cargo is the payload limit we plan to.

Each number was read twice, independently, and the two readings compared. “Typical” = not every source is a maker, carrier or regulator. Spec table 2026-10-24.
- Loaded from the side; the rear door check warns but does not block.
- Payload is a carrier figure minus a margin inside the 40 t legal gross — no tractor weight from a manufacturer.
