    A 48 will fit 22 straight in 24 pinwheeled and 28 sideways but not advised as if they don't get everything tight or cheap crooked pallets you won't have room for air to circulated. When you pinwheel you can put the first two rows in straight t stretch the load out a bit farther. Finding people to load you will be a problem most brokers seem to have no idea in pallet counts or will just say full 53 when most Loads as we know fits fine Inna 48. I'd get a 51.5 or 53 spread if your getting loads from different brokers all the time

    Hello, do you know where someone would be interested in a 48 foot reefer? Very nice condition. Well taken care of with newer TK unit.

    Pallets are each 40 inches by 48 inches.

    Which is valuable when you spin a loaded pallet around so that they only take 40 inches of deck space length wise.
