Let’s see how many pallets everyone has managed to fit in their truck beds!
This is about to get dangerous. Hold my forklift.
According to my math, you can carry 44 pallets and still be under the payload limit. Totally safe!
Are we talking about Walmart blue pallets or Menards pallets? The details matter.
Heat-treated softwood.
Those Walmart blue pallets are built tough.
Transportation restrictions will get you at around 14 feet.
Once you stack higher than the bed rails, you can start stacking wider.
This comment doesn’t get enough credit!
I need someone to calculate the center of gravity with that many pallets.
But what about DOT height restrictions?
Just build it wider!
Assuming each pallet is 5 inches tall and the bed height is 30 inches, you can stack 25 pallets and stay under the 13-foot, 6-inch limit. With a max width of 8.5 feet and 4x4 pallets, you’d have 2 feet and 3 inches left on each side. That’s 5 more pallets per side if they’re stacked on end, bringing the total to 35.
You can put 4 in the bed to level with the rails, then go two wide from 48 inches to 162 inches. That gives you 48 pallets total. And that’s without using the cab roof yet!
Artist’s rendering:
We should have an annual competition where we pick an item and see who can fit the most in their truck bed.
2024: pallets
2025: folding chairs
2026: etc.
I could probably fit at least 12 bunches of bananas on mine.
2027: Ford Mavericks.
2023 was Pepsi cases.
Actually, it was late 2022.
That guy Mavericking hard!
