Am I the only one wondering exactly what stacking pattern, in a
rectangular trailer, gives them 9 extra cages in 2 m?

Divide the width (c2.4m) and the extra length each by three and you get
a size of cage around 0.8m x 0.66m.

Googling indicates that 800 x 715 is the "standard" "roll container" or
"roll pallet" size but there are all manner of variations/options.

That was the size I used to buy, but I assume that Tesco buy enough to
be able to have them custom made, should they wish. Of course, there
would only need to be a spare 145mm in the existing trailer for an extra
2m to allow room for three more rows of standard containers.
