Rough calculation of container loading (20ft/40ft/40HQ)

Q: "Palletized?"

"You can select \"with/without palette\". You can choose the standard from JIS/ISO/EUR/custom."

Q: "How do you actually stack it?"

"This tool is an approximation. In reality, the number of loads may be reduced due to restrictions such as securing aisles, fixing (lashing), cushioning materials, and workability."

Q: "Can I change the direction of the box?"

"You can set \"Fixed orientation/Flat rotation OK/Can be placed vertically\"."

Q: "What values \u200b\u200bare you using for the internal dimensions?"

"The initial value is a typical dry container internal method, but please edit as necessary as there are differences depending on the manufacturer and shipping company."

Q: "Can weight restrictions be considered?"

"If you enter kg/box, the total weight will be displayed and compared with the maximum load capacity. Actual limits will vary depending on transportation conditions and regulations."

Based on the box size, number of boxes, and orientation conditions, display the approximate number of boxes that will fit/surplus/shortage (as a guideline for banning calculations)

Do a rough calculation of container loading and roughly estimate how many boxes can fit in 20ft/40ft/40HQ.

container type

The inner dimensions are reference values for typical dry containers (there are differences depending on the manufacturer and shipping company).

Internal dimensions (editable)

Inner diameter L (mm) Inner width W (mm) Inner diameter H (mm)

The height of the door opening is smaller than the inside size, so check for tall cargo.

Box dimensions and quantity

Please enter the outer dimensions of the box (including the thickness of the cardboard).

Box length (mm) Box width (mm) Box height (mm)

The box is too big to fit in (also check the door opening height)

Calculation method (approximate)

Direct stacking: Compare floor(Lc/Lb) × floor(Wc/Wb) × floor(Hc/Hb) for each direction and adopt the maximum value.
Fixed orientation is evaluated in 1 way, horizontal rotation is possible in 2 ways, and vertical placement is possible in 3 side rearrangements (up to 6 ways).
With pallets: Estimate by calculating the number of pallets that can fit on the container floor x the number of boxes on the pallet.
When you enter the planned number of boxes, the remaining/shortage and required number of containers (ceil (planned/maximum)) will be displayed.

The actual number of loads will vary due to factors such as wrap, cushioning materials, prevention of cargo collapse, work passageways, and weight distribution.

Precautions

This tool is an approximation. Results will vary depending on individual differences in container internal dimensions, fixing materials/cushioning materials, work passages, load/weight distribution, and stowage rules.

The height differs from the internal dimensions and door opening. Be sure to check the door opening dimensions for tall cargo.
