Practical guides to container sizes, cubic metres and carton counts. Each one includes a worked example and the limits of that calculation.
Container sizes
Check 20GP internal dimensions, door openings and payload. Compare a carrier example with the planner preset and work through a carton loading calculation.
Read the guideContainer sizes
Understand 40ft standard internal dimensions, CBM, payload and carton count. See why twice the floor length does not mean twice the cargo weight.
Read the guideContainer sizes
Compare 40HQ and 40GP internal height, volume and payload. Calculate when the extra height actually increases carton count and when it does not.
Read the guideCargo calculations
Calculate cubic metres from centimetres, metres or millimetres. Work through single-carton and mixed-order examples, then check why CBM alone cannot prove a load fits.
Read the guideCargo calculations
Compare a volume upper bound, a fixed-orientation grid and payload limits. Calculate a 20GP carton example and understand what a 3D loading planner adds.
Read the guideLoading workflow
Build a mixed-SKU loading plan with dimensions, quantities, gross weights and stacking rules. Check unplaced cargo and understand the current model’s limits.
