Dry van 53’
The 53-footer is the default trailer for palletized transport in North America. When nothing stands in the way, it gives the best price per pallet.
Also called : standard van, 53-foot enclosed trailer, van 53
Twenty-six standard pallets on the floor, fifty-two if the freight can be stacked: that is the industry benchmark, and it is what makes the 53-footer the most economical unit as soon as you have volume. Loading is done at the dock, by forklift, through the rear doors.
The constraint is almost never the trailer: it is the site. A 53-footer needs a clear yard and a turning radius that some commercial streets simply do not offer. We check access at both pickup and delivery before confirming, rather than discovering the problem with the truck already there.
