Depends upon what materials or products are on those pallets. Whether they are cans of Spam or sides of beef will make a huge difference in how many will fit.
The number of pallets of 5-gallon buckets that can fit in a shipping container depends on the container's size and the arrangement of the pallets. A standard 20-foot container can typically hold about 10 to 12 pallets, while a 40-foot container can hold approximately 20 to 24 pallets. Each pallet usually holds around 48 buckets, so you can calculate the total number of buckets by multiplying the number of pallets by the number of buckets per pallet.
A standard 53-foot intermodal container can typically hold around 26 to 30 standard pallets, depending on the pallet dimensions and arrangement. For example, using standard 48"x40" pallets, you can usually fit 26 pallets in a single layer. However, if double stacking is possible and permissible, the total could be higher. It's important to consider weight limits and cargo type when determining the exact number of pallets.
