Will a pallet fit in the short bed?

Looks like dimensions are close, but the wheel arches may get in the way. Has anyone done it successfully?

I think you would need to build some sort of platform for it to sit on above the wheel arches. If you did that it would fit but it would be riding fairly high.

All depend on what you consider a "standard pallet". I've had a 40x42 pallet with Gaylord in mine no problem. 42" will just make it between the wheel wells.

To me standard is 48x48 but textbook is 48x40

48x48 won't fit 48x40 will fit if put in long way.

Gaylord?

A standard pallet is 48 x 40. I have brought home pallets no problem in my ranger. Just load them in the narrow way.

It's a big cardboard box set on the pallet. We use it for food collections for our food pantry.

May be an industry type of thing. We used to get polymer pellets in then for our base sheet production lines.

I worked in shipping and receiving for many years. Pallets are not a model of precision manufacturing.

Probably a regional thing, like whoever was making them in a particular area way back when. On the lower right side of the country it's a hotel chain.

Wikipedia lists 13 standard pallet sizes for use in North America. The Grocery Manufacturers Association size, 40” x 48”, is the most common.

There's quite the debate about pallets...
