Will these crates fit within the van's space and payload?

Divide usable cargo volume by crate volume and remaining payload by the loaded crate weight. Round each limit down and use the smaller count. A volume estimate cannot verify physical fit, door clearance or stacking. Use measured usable space and remaining payload.
