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.

You should be able to fit 3 euro pallets together per row, as this is what we do.

To answer your question, a variant of the forklift was created ~1920, and goods movements were being used more. This led to the need to standardise pallet sizes.
