7.82m C782 Swap Body Loading Calculator
Compare your cargo with the C782 swap-body profile. The nominal body class does not replace measured internal dimensions or a route-specific vehicle check.
Test the quantity you enter and review placed and unplaced cargo. This is a planning estimate, not a maximum-capacity guarantee or transport approval.
Quick answer: The C782 swap body profile offers more internal length than C745, but the 7.82 m name is still an external measurement. CBM3 uses a 7.67 m long, 2.47 m wide and 2.525 m high rectangular interior, about 47.836 m3. Both automatic methods placed the entered 19-pallet order below in one body. The preset has no verified payload limit, so this is a geometric result, not an approved load.
Open the C782 loading planner with this equipment as an initial selection. Confirm the displayed equipment before entering your order; a saved job or your later selection takes priority. The link does not run a calculation.
What is a C782 swap body?
A swap body is a demountable freight body. The dry-box example discussed here has rear doors and support legs; it is not a bare trailer or automatically equivalent to an ISO sea container. Confirm the specific body design and compatible handling equipment. Do not infer lifting, stacking or support-leg load ratings from this guide or its illustration.
7.82 m outside length versus usable interior
| Field | Preset value |
|---|---|
| Nominal external length | 7.82 m |
| Internal length x width x height (cm) | 767 x 247 x 252.5 |
| Rectangular reference volume (m3) | 47.836 |
| Configured body gross / tare (kg) | Unverified |
| Configured cargo limit (kg) | Unverified; not a payload pass |
| Default door width / height | Unknown; no preset door check |
CBM is a rectangular volume calculation: length x width x height in centimetres divided by 1,000,000. For this profile, 767 x 247 x 252.5 / 1,000,000 gives approximately 47.836 m3. Volume alone does not test orientation, obstructions, doorway access or the entered quantity. Use actual cargo outer dimensions and verify the assigned body; this preset is not a universal specification.
How many Euro pallets fit?
A horizontal mixed-orientation pattern explains why an extra floor position can be possible: one 120 cm long band can hold three 80 cm-wide pallets, followed by eight 80 cm long bands with two 120 cm-wide pallets each. The resulting 19 footprints occupy 760 cm of length and 240 cm of width. This is a geometric illustration of the entered footprint, not a clearance or securing specification, and not a claim that every solver result uses that exact pattern.
Loaded height, gross weight and actual footprint matter as much as the number of bases. Keep completed pallets upright. Turning them horizontally is different from laying them on their sides. The examples below allow horizontal turns only and prohibit stacking; they are entered-order tests, not a quantity-free capacity search or proof of the largest possible count.
Reproduce a Euro-pallet order and a mixed load
Use metric units. Turn palletization off because these inputs already represent loaded pallets. Include the pallet base height and tare once in each unit’s outer dimensions and gross weight. Set Horizontal Only, This Side Up on, Stackable off, Fragile off, no extra stack-weight limit, Normal priority and no delivery stop. Leave other equipment and global constraints at their defaults.
| Order row | Loaded unit | Width x length x height cm | Quantity | Gross kg per unit | Input m3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Loaded Euro-format pallet | 80 x 120 x 200 | 19 | 600 | 36.480 |
| B1 | Loaded Euro-format pallet | 80 x 120 x 180 | 10 | 300 | 17.280 |
| B2 | Loaded industrial-format pallet | 100 x 120 x 160 | 4 | 400 | 7.680 |
| Order | Method | Entered | Placed | Unplaced | Bodies | Placed m3 | Placed kg | Payload check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Max Volume | 19 | 19 | 0 | 1 | 36.480 | 11,400 | Unknown |
| A | Best Balance | 19 | 19 | 0 | 1 | 36.480 | 11,400 | Unknown |
| B (B1 + B2) | Max Volume | 14 | 14 | 0 | 1 | 24.960 | 4,600 | Unknown |
| B (B1 + B2) | Best Balance | 14 | 14 | 0 | 1 | 24.960 | 4,600 | Unknown |
Both methods ran on 6 October 2026 through the installed Worker in Node. Independent checks covered unit counts, boundaries, overlap, horizontal orientation, support and the configured cargo limit where known. These are not browser, loading-dock, axle-load or transport-safety acceptance tests. A 14/14 mixed result means both SKU rows fitted together, not that each was tested alone.
Why a cargo item can fit inside but not through the door
Neither swap-body preset currently has a known default door width or height. The named KRONE sheet lists a 245 cm clear portal height for its two STG examples, below the 252.5 cm interior. That supplier value is a separate example, not a verified limit for every body.
A diagnostic 100 x 120 x 250 cm upright unit was placed by both methods in this preset because it is shorter than the interior and no default door check runs. It would exceed that 245 cm example opening while upright. A 253 cm-high diagnostic was rejected for exceeding the interior height. Verify the actual opening and entry path; do not treat the first result as loading permission.
Payload, tare and load distribution
The current C782 preset leaves cargo limit, body gross mass and tare unverified. Do not interpret an empty weight field as unlimited payload or copy the C745 limit into it. The named KRONE sheet gives weights for one specific WK 7.7 STG option; those manufacturer examples have not been approved as this preset’s weight contract. Obtain the assigned body’s plate, actual tare and operator limits before assessing its load.
A weight inside a software ceiling is not a complete vehicle assessment. The planner’s estimated centre of gravity uses the cargo and pallet information provided; it does not supply a missing vehicle or axle specification, validate support legs, or approve a securing design. Obtain a separate assessment when those checks are required.
C782 versus C745: which should you test?
Compared with the C745 preset, C782 adds 37 cm of interior length with the same configured width and height. That is approximately 2.308 m3 more reference volume. The two tested Euro-pallet orders differ by one unit, but the longer preset does not automatically improve every mixed load: both profiles placed the same 14-unit mixed order below. It also does not establish that a longer body is compatible with your truck, trailer, terminal or route.
Use the same loaded dimensions, counts and handling rules when comparing the C745 swap-body guide. Dividing shipment CBM by body volume is only an initial ratio; it is not a physical loading plan or a minimum-vehicle guarantee. Likewise, a commercial loading-metre estimate does not reserve the exact usable width or solve a mixed pallet arrangement.
From entered data to a reviewed loading plan
- Choose the actual equipment and confirm its dimensions, access and weight information.
- Enter every loaded SKU with its real dimensions, quantity and gross unit weight. Keep palletization off for already-loaded pallets.
- Retain the genuine rotation and stacking permissions; do not change them merely to improve a reported fit.
- Press Plan 3D Cargo Loading. Compare the automatic Max Volume and Best Balance results, then inspect every allocated body and any unplaced items.
- Review handling access and missing vehicle data before release. Save or export using the controls available to your current account and plan; unlimited anonymous use is not promised.
Follow the step-by-step planning guide for the general workflow. Longer search budgets or a different method do not guarantee an optimum.
Questions about C782 loading
Why does a 7.82 m body have only 7.67 m of planning length?
The outside length includes structure that is not cargo space. The current preset follows the identified WK 7.7 STG dimension example; another C782 construction can have a different interior. Measure the assigned unit.
Does the 19-pallet result verify the payload?
No. Example A weighs 11,400 kg including the entered pallet bases. The preset has no verified cargo ceiling, so neither automatic method can turn that weight into a payload approval.
Are 120 x 100 cm and 48 x 40 inch pallets interchangeable?
No. Their footprints differ. Example B uses exactly 100 x 120 cm loaded industrial-format units. Enter the actual loaded dimensions, including overhang; do not substitute a nominal GMA label or reuse a fixed pallet-count claim.

This guide is for preliminary geometric planning. It does not certify the body, vehicle, route, shipment or securing arrangement. Browse the loading-space guide directory for other equipment rather than treating this profile as interchangeable with a sea container.
Software compatibility note, 8 October 2026 (Europe/Istanbul): The planning profiles and recorded example inputs were checked against the source-reviewed CBM3 11.63.56 candidate. The earlier example execution dates remain unchanged; this compatibility review is not a new optimization run or physical-loading test. Fleet-provider and carrier references are not manufacturer approval. Confirm the actual unit dimensions, payload and securing requirements.
How to inspect and hand over a loading plan
Use the selected plan and the complete shipment data. Recheck the result after changing cargo, equipment or handling rules.
See every cargo unit in context
Search the cargo inventory, focus on an item and switch between realistic, operational, top and side views. Inspect pallet layers and height sections.
The inventory separates requested units, units in the selected container, units in other containers and unplaced units. Select a row to find its cargo in the scene; playback and height sections show only part of the complete plan.
Use pallet details to inspect full, partial and mixed pallets. A height section filters the view; it does not remove cargo from the plan. Vehicle bodies and wheels provide visual context.
Prepare clearer warehouse instructions
Use product colors and short codes, named groups and delivery stops. Choose a summary or warehouse PDF for the selected plan.
Assign product colors and short codes to connect the cargo table, 3D view and reports. Group and stop names improve instructions; apply the appropriate loading rules when a sequence must be enforced.
Compare verified alternatives and review any manual moves. A manual reallocation affects the current preview and PDF; saved or shared inputs recalculate the automatic arrangement when reopened. Export again after changes.
Read the estimated center of gravity
Review longitudinal, lateral and height coordinates from known cargo and pallet masses. Check the displayed origin and units before comparing plans.
The estimate assumes each item's mass is centered and excludes vehicle tare. Missing or stale additional-material records can leave the complete-load assessment unavailable; explicitly declare none when no extra materials are present.
Coordinates use the load-space frame, not road height. For Step Deck, X starts at the raised front end and Y at the lower-deck datum; axle-form distances run from the rear toward the cab.
Distinguish the loading unit from its carrying vehicle
This loading unit alone does not define an axle configuration.
Inspect cargo and pallet weight distribution in this loading space. A container, swap body or air-cargo unit does not identify the road chassis, rail wagon or aircraft carrying it.
Axle estimates are available after selecting a supported complete road or rail vehicle. Enter its actual mounting positions, full empty reactions and applicable limits; do not reuse a trailer reference as container or aircraft approval.
