How to calculate cubic meterage (or CBM): length x width x height x quantity
e.g. 400 cartons at 41cm x 34cm x 30cm:
0.41 x 0.34 x 0.3 x 400 = 16.728 cbmPallets:There are 2 main types of wooden pallets used
in Europe for general purposes
EUR & EUR1 (or a Euro) = 80cm x 120cm
EUR2 (or standard) = 120cm x 100cm
How many pallets fit in (based on 1 tier):
Vehicles:7.5 tonne box: 10-12 standard or 14-15 Euros
(5.9m to 6.2m long x 2.4m high)
18 tonne box: 14 standard or 18 Euros
(max. pallet height = 2.4m to 2.65m)
40' articulated trailer: 26 standard or 33 Euros
(max. pallet height = 2.65m)Sea Freight GP containers:
20' container: 10 standard or 11 Euros
40' container: 21 standard or 24 Euros
45' container: 24 standard or 26 Euros

* realistic capacity will differ greatly dependant on the size of cartons you are loading.
All the above weights, dimensions and capacities may vary and are based on
General Purpose (GP) containers
Air Freight...
All the above dimensions and weights are subject to airline and aircraftPlease note: All the information on this page is intended to serve as a guide only. All measurements and capacities should be double checked at the time of shipment for accuracy and availablity.
How to calculate volume weight for air freight purposes: 6 cubic meters = 1,000 kgs
e.g. 16.728 cbm divided by 0.006 = 2,788 volume kgs
