The image show the pallet arrangement in the standard 20ft container. I wonder why the pallet is not design to be perfectly fit to the wide of container when aligning.

The “standard” pallet in the linked article is the standard in Europe: 1200mm x 800mm x 144mm built with blocks.
These are different from the “standard” American pallet, which is 48”x40” with notches on the runners for four way forklift entry. These latter pallets are also called “gma” for the grocery manufacturers association which set the standard many years ago. However, pallet manufacturers use specialized software to design and analyze the structural integrity of their pallets to be spec built based on the “unit load,” or the whatever it is the customer wants to put on their pallet.
