Enter your dimensions to see the numbers.

Estimates only. Allow for tolerances, packaging, weight, stability and handling clearance. Volume alone does not establish a feasible or safe loading plan.

How this calculator works

Cargo volume is compared with an illustrative internal container template: 20′ = 5.898 × 2.352 × 2.393 m; 40′ = 12.032 × 2.352 × 2.393 m; 40′ high cube = 12.032 × 2.352 × 2.698 m. The percentage is a volume ratio, not achieved packing utilization. Actual equipment dimensions vary.

What this volume estimate tells you

A volume ratio compares total cargo CBM with a reference capacity. It does not confirm that every item passes through the door or fits in a permitted arrangement. Shapes, permitted rotations and stacking rules need a separate review.
