It loads the maximum quantity goods in the container. Let me show you how to achieve it.
3 different containers are used in normal shipment.
- Standard container- 20ft： L 5.9* W2.34* H 2.38 meter, the calculated volume is 28~29 m³
- Standard container- 40ft：L 12* W 2.34* H2.38 meter, the calculated volume is 57~59 m³
- High Cubes Container - 40ft：：L 12* W 2.34* H2.68 meter, the calculated volume is 66~68 m³
3 factors will directly affect the actual load volume
- The Carton box Volume
- Carton Box Shape
- Goods variety & Quantity
For example:
A. Only 1 variety carton, the carton cubage < 0.022m³/ctn
- Standard container- 20ft： 28m³
- Standard container- 40ft：57m³
- High Cubes Container - 40ft：67m³
So the carton volume smaller, the container cubage usage will be higher.
B. Only 1 variety carton, the carton cubage > 0.04m³/ctn
- Standard container- 20ft： 24~25m³
- Standard container- 40ft：53~54m³
- High Cubes Container - 40ft：63m³
C. Different variety cartons
The major impact factor is the Quantity of smaller cartons.
If the small carton is about 60% of loaded cartons
- Standard container- 20ft： 25~26m³
- Standard container- 40ft：55~56m³
- High Cubes Container - 40ft：65~66m³
If the big carton is about 60% of loaded cartons
- Standard container- 20ft： 24m³
- Standard container- 40ft：54m³
- High Cubes Container - 40ft：63m³
