A Refrigerated Semi-Trailer (Reefer) measures 13.20 m (43′4″) long, 2.48 m (8′2″) wide and 2.50 m (8′2″) high inside — about 81.8 m³ (2,889 ft³) of usable space, with a payload up to 22,000 kg (48,502 lb).
Insulated & refrigerated European semi-trailer for temperature-controlled road freight. Rear door loading; reduced interior vs. a curtainsider due to insulated walls and cooling unit.

Internal (usable) figures, not external. Capacity is the geometric interior volume — real cargo never fills 100% of it, because pallets, dunnage and irregular shapes leave void space.
