Remember Euro go 3 across.
Not if you’re putting 16 along each side of the trailer…

And why would you do that, look a right Muppet when you unload at German supermarket, pallets all wrong way.
Fair few places, especially if it’s heavy like sugar, won’t load em 3 across if its a side load with forks. It’s against their health and safety to push the middle one across. Ridiculous because as well as having to turn all the pallets round there isn’t enough trailer straps to strap them when they are 16 down each side.
6 single pallets down each side from the front, 4 double stacked, then 6 single to the back, so basically slap bang in the middle! Then strap up
headboard first…workback…any left once the floor has been used…goes over the trailer axles…and well strapped…i know im right…cos im a professional. 
33 on the deck and 7 over the trailer bogie

^^^^^ 2nd the above. Again, others will be along to disagree, for the hell of it.
I always loaded a tanker up to the headboard though [emoji23]
I agree with Wheel Nut. Like Juddian I remember 32 tons and 38ft and 40ft flats which were just too short to get a full weight of fruit on the floor. Depending upon what the load was and the trailer, the extra went over the bogie usually broken down into half height pallets, with maybe some handballed up the back if it was a 38 footer.
It was never, never stack the extra up the front because apart from overloading the unit that is where the swing/sway on an artic is the greatest.
I did write a speadsheet some 20 years ago to get somewhere near axle the weights for a Gray & Adams fridge and an Actros according to the position of each pallet, but it will probably take me a week to remember how to use it!
