Container Utilization Calculator

Cartons that fit a container from carton dimensions, container type and a stacking utilization factor.

Cartons per container

802

Usable volume

57.8m3

The formula

Cartons = floor(usable CBM x utilization / carton CBM). Usable CBM: 20ft 28, 40ft 58, 40HC 68.

Worked example

Carton length: 60 cm, Carton width: 40 cm, Carton height: 30 cm, Container: 40ft high cube (68 m3 usable), Stacking utilization: 85 %. Result: Cartons per container = 802; Usable volume = 57.8 m3.

Assumptions

  • Volume-based estimate; the actual load plan depends on carton orientation mix.
