The plan stands them every one with its 47.2 in (120 cm) side along the length; they cover 92% of the floor and 13.9 in (35.2 cm) of floor stays free at the door. Top view — door left, back wall right.

What changes the answer most

Stacking changes the answer most: if two may go on top of each other and each loaded pallet is at most 54.3 in (138 cm) tall, 66 euro pallets fit (not 78: 78 × 660 lb (299 kg) is over the payload).

39 euro pallets × 660 lb (299 kg) = 25,740 lb (11,675 kg), against a payload of 44,000 lb (19,958 kg). Each one may weigh up to 1,128 lb (512 kg) before the payload, not the space, sets the number.

The door is 98.3 × 110 in: a piece up to 110 in (279.4 cm) tall and 98.3 in (249.8 cm) wide goes through — the 31.5 in (80 cm) side of this pallet passes with room to spare.

What we assumed

Pallet size 47.2 × 31.5 in (from our sourced pallet table), loaded to 48 in (121.9 cm) tall and 660 lb (299 kg) each.
Stacking: no — nothing goes on top of a pallet.
Pallets may be turned on the floor (long side along or across); they stay upright.
Inside size 630 × 100 × 110 in; clearance kept: 2 in on length, 0.8 in across, 0.8 in up (so the door closes and cartons may bulge).
Door check: on — every box must pass the 98.3 × 110 in door in the way it is placed.
